I have a few key ploys for keeping Baboo (not his real name) happy while I cook or do dishes or one of my 88 chores in the kitchen/dining area where we spend a LOT of time. Chief among said ploys: Fun stuff on the fridge.
We had a few magnetized containers I felt were safe for him, so those have been up for a while. But I wanted something more fun and baby-friendly. After a brief Internet search I settled on these, from Geomag:
They’re meant as a farm animal play set, but they work really well as fridge magnets. The animals are soft molded rubber, so they’re nice for the baby to both grab and gnaw on. They’re made in Switzerland, and with European baby safety standards being what they are, I know they’re safe for him.
The rubber animal parts fit around magnetized balls, and they’re not that hard to pop off, which ends up providing more entertainment for the wee one. They come together to make free-standing toys, too, so he can play with them as he grows.
Bonus features: I can use them to teach him animal noises, which he thinks is hilarious.
They seem to be carried at quite a few places, and of course, Amazon has them.

Thank you for sharing. These are great magnetic toys for children. What company makes them?
The name of the company is GeoMag. Here’s a link to their line of baby toys (Gbaby): http://www.geomagworld.com/en/products/gbaby
Amazon carries all their stuff, too. I have a feeling we’ll be picking up their “sea” set, since the baby just loves the sheep and piggy (and so do we).
Thanks for reading and commenting!
