The speed and ease with which kids construct vivid scenes using Magnetic Figures from Mudpuppy is a huge part of the fun. Imaginations run wild with well over a dozen exciting, diverse titles and themes to choose from (Pirates, Mermaids, Time Travel, Fairy Tales, Monsters, Ballerinas, Robots, to name just a few). Regardless of the title, each set comes in a portable hinged tin and includes 4 illustrated background scenes and 3 sheets of magnets. Those colorful magnets and backgrounds consist of illustrated figures, articles of clothing, accessories, and additional bits and pieces kids assemble into remarkably detailed tableaus. Placing a background on top of a tin causes the magnets to adhere wherever they're placed. That freedom of placement creates a host of options for layering the magnets on top of the figures or one another - hats, hair, eyeglasses, slacks, shoes, boots, a treasure chest filled with gold, and countless others. Each and every magnet and background is so artfully illustrated that the results often have the appearance of a finely crafted picture book. When finished playing, pack it right up in the compact, portable tin, and you're good to go.
