Interesting Magnetic Book!

"I bought a book for Elric!"

Whenever I told this to Alphonse, he would give me the there-she-go-again stare, followed by asking, "How much is it?".

If it is not cheap - in his standard - he would continue, "Why you waste money? We can always get it from the library mah."

(To alp: correct me if I'm wrong... but I know I'm right. :p)

The point is, I stopped buying books a quite some time even though I found some of them really interesting and believed Elric would like to have them.

So recently when I was hanging around Funan during lunch time, I saw children book fair and got attracted to it. My intention wasn't to buy books, but to see what interesting ideas I could get to DIY my own art & crafts activities for Elric.

Right. I got distracted. I spotted this interesting magnetic book ($13.90. It is not exactly cheap).

   

If you went like, "CHEY!!! This is nothing new Loh! Magnetic book is common lah!"
It's alright. Go ahead. I am still very amused by it cause it didn't exist during in childhood. :P


This is basically a board book with a magnetic sheet embedded in each page.
Comes with it, is a compartment that stores 20 water creatures magnets for the toddlers to play scenes with the book!

Look at that! It's like the book came to life! I can tell my son a story about the Nemo's adventure with the clown fish magnet or story of a diver finding some treasures in the deep sea. (ok... a few of the 20 nagmets are not water creatures. :p)

See? There are starfish, dolphin, hermit crab, seal and many others.

You can even bring this magnets to the fridge and let them play while you do your chores in the kitchen! hahaha... I haven't explored that but I may try. :P

On a serious note, one day if Elric gets tired of this books, I will probably just recycle these as fridge magnets. Good idea right? Recycling is good!

Elric loves playing scenes with the book. In fact, he also like to identify the creatures by matching the magnets to the picture list at the last page of the book.

He can now remember starfish, turtle, lobster and a few others!

Alright. Here is a short clip of Elric playing with the book and identifies 2 of the creatures. :D

Alphonse likes the book too!
Because such book can never be found in the library!
All the magnetic pieces would be gone after the first child borrows!! wahahaa...
Alright... that's it for this book.

Good night!
