Using the magnets, they are able to find random objects around the room to see if the magnet sticks. It helps when there are plenty of materials to choose from so that their imagination as well as their brain is stimilated.

They are learning about shapes and colors and ass well science. So many developmental areas working at the same time.

My own pre-schooler is very interested in magnets she really gets curious on what the magnet is attracted to so she goes around placing it on different items around the house and gets really excited when it is attracted to something.

All the children love playing with the magnets. I do have the children try different things based on their ages. We do everything from what sticks and why to graphing. The children also love working on what floats and what doesn’t. Again we talk about the attibutes of the items being used and what they think will happen and why.

Hi Sue,
This week our group has added the magna-tiles, and the Melissa and Doug refrigerator magnets (animal shapes) and a construction Dad, brought us some giant screws with flat ends. These have definitely upped our magnetic play! Maybe those would work for you? The magna-tiles are pretty fun for hanging off the wands and horseshoes! Good luck and thanks for reading! Diann

These ideas will help us get other things and expand on magnets. I love using the sensory bins with them. But I do need to look for big enough items as things still go in some mouths from time to time.
