Three toys have crossed my desk in the past few weeks with "a-ma-jig" in their names. So here's a blog-a-ma-jig to put them all together.
Fortamajig and Fortamajig Connectables are really cool toys for fort builders. Unlike the typical fort's sheet or blanket, Fortamajig has Velcro straps on all four corners, around the perimeter and at several points in the middle. This makes it possible to create a table-shaped fort or a tent with a high peak. It even has a door and a window with a shade.
Sing-A-Ma-Jigs are unique, singing toys that harmonize when you play with two or more. They sing different notes but they're all tuned so they sound good together. They're sold separately so each is fun on its own, but the real fun starts when you add to the chorus. Unlike any other singing toy I've seen, Sing-A-Ma-Jigs have a unique look, unique sound and unique functionality when you play with them together.
Slide-A-Ma-Jig is an iPhone app that lets kids mix and match body parts to make funny alien creatures. It's a great restaurant or waiting-room diversion for kids of all ages.
