Magnetics is a part of all children’s education and Alnico magnets are extremely popular in schools due to their easy handling and much safer risk compared to Neodymium magnets.
However, outside of the classroom magnets can also be a key part in some children’s toys here at FIRST4MAGNETS we have a range of toys and accessories that are perfectly suitable for children and that is thanks to their magnetic properties.
So, we have decided to put a list together of our top child friendly products below.
Tangram Magnets
The highly addictive tangram-style puzzle based on the ancient Chinese puzzle are suitable for children ages 3+ and are available in four different colours including red, green, blue, and yellow.
These challenging and addictive puzzles provide a stern test of maths and logic. Each puzzle is made from premium foam with a flexible magnetic backing providing a secure grip to a steel surface such as a fridge.
Each piece is die cut and supplied as a square so the individual pieces can easily be broken apart to crate new shapes. The real question is how many shapes can you make?
Fun with Magnets
We offer two different ranges of Fun with Magnets both suitable for ages 3 and above firstly we have the multi-coloured foam letters and punctuation marks which are ideal for teaching alphabet recognition and making connections between letters and sounds.
