28 pieces - approx. 7 x 6cm
3yrs +
We have expanded our Australian Themed Magnets range to now include Tools and Transport. There are 28 pieces in each set that are sure to delight little lovers of all things mechanical! The magnets are colour printed with realistic images of planes, trains, automobiles - plus drills, hammers & hard hats. Kids will easily recognise an Australian fire engine and police car - amongst others - as well as everyday items found in tool or garden sheds.
EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS
Individual
Set up magnetic boards for children to design and create. Get child to see what surfaces they stick to around their environment and discuss each transport/tool when it is used. Seperate into large, small, flying, tools, machines, 4 wheel and 2 wheel encouraging further knowledge of the transport theme.
Group Setting
Talk to the children about what transport object they are holding, what colours on the disc. Hide each disc around the room giving clues as to what object it might be, helping them to learn through play.
Outdoors
Take outdoors to see what surfaces they stick too, turn it into a science experiment! Make it into a physical experience by having the children build their own transport machine out of outdoor objects in the playground!
Learning Opportunities
Fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. As the child puts magnets on various surfaces they are learning about spatial awareness. Language skills, cognitive and problem solving, maybe the magnet is too heavy? maybe the surface is not metal? Magnetic play also encourages creativity.
