#ChildrensToys #Contests 🥕 Slice, Snap, Repeat: A Magnetic Cutting Toy My toddler has several classic velcro pretend-food toys, the kind where you "slice" something and the halves pull apart. The catch every parent knows: that velcro grip is stubborn, little hands tug and tug, and the strips wear out over time. I kept the magic of the slicing moment but swapped velcro for embedded magnets. The result is a clean, satisfying snap-apart and snap-back-together action that's genuinely easier for small kids, looks nicer in a play kitchen, and makes for an easy healthy-eating chat during pretend cooking. The magnets are fully embedded, the shape is chunky and easy to grip, and I tuned the strength to hold well without pinching little fingers.

#ChildrensToys #Contests 🌽 A Better Way to "Slice": Magnets Instead of Velcro My toddler has a bunch of the classic velcro pretend-food toys, and they've always driven me a little crazy. The grip is hard for little hands to pull apart, it wears out, and it never looks nice. So I made a sliceable corn that keeps the fun and fixes the frustration. Embedded magnets replace the velcro: same satisfying cut-apart-and-rebuild play, but smoother, with pieces that self-align in a clean snap and no fuzzy strips to fray. It's easier for small hands, looks great in a toy kitchen, and is an easy way to chat about healthy eating while they play. The magnets are sealed inside the print and tuned to hold firmly without pinching fingers.

#ChildrensToys #Contests 🍔 Build-Your-Own Burger: A Magnetic Stacking Toy My toddler is obsessed with stacking, so I designed this hamburger as a pretend-food toy that's secretly a building toy. It comes apart into layers (bun, patty, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce) that snap back together with embedded magnets.

Check out the latest model in my collection of spinning, stackable toys! This one is a festive Christmas tree with colorful ornaments and a star on top.
