Give your kids a dose of '80s nostalgia with Omagles
TL;DR: Stimulate your child's creativity with the Omagles builder set, on sale for $299 — a 6% savings — as of March 21.
With technology dominating what can feel like every waking hour of your kids’ lives, you want to be sure they're using their imaginations, too. Consider diving back into the toy box of yesteryear and grab them a set of Omagles.
The OG of STEM toys, Omagles is a set of over 200 different building blocks, connectors, and clips that can be assembled into a wide array of designs. Kids can use the included manual to follow step-by-step designs for life-size objects like desks, tricycles, chairs, scooters, jungle gyms, and lemonade stands, or they can dream up their very own designs and build them from scratch. The construction possibilities are endless — and they offer an opportunity to help build spatial learning and problem-solving skills without a screen.
Here’s a glimpse:
Designed for kids ages 3 and up, Omagles is a great toy for tomorrow's engineers and designers. Not only does the system of connectors and clips lead kids to solve problems independently, but it also helps them develop cognitive flexibility, a capacity for creative thinking, social competence, and even engineering skills.
While the 20-piece Omagles Builder Set regularly costs $319, you can slash $20 off for a limited time and get it for $299.
