Cool New Gift for Children: StradaBlox

These won­der­ful wooden race tracks made by Strad­aBlox snap together using socket-type con­nec­tions and rare-earth mag­nets, mak­ing them sturdy and rigid yet sim­ple enough for a child as young as three. They’re made of untreated hard­wood, a big advan­tage over the typ­i­cal plas­tic race car tracks.

You can view some of the cool ways the track can be com­bined on Flickr. This appears to be fairly new, I’d love to hear anyone’s first­hand experience!
