Magnetic Building Stem Set

Long description

Build, test, and create: STEM made playful

This set invites children to connect magnetic sticks and balls to make 2D shapes and 3D structures. From simple stars to bridges and towers, learners explore balance, symmetry, and creativity through hands-on construction.

Who it’s for

• FS2/KG1 as the primary stage
• Helpful for Year 1–2 to extend into stronger shapes and challenge cards

What’s included

• Assorted magnetic sticks/rods and balls/connectors
• Mix of bright colors for sorting and patterning
• (If included) Storage box for quick cleanup

Learning outcomes

• STEM thinking: shapes, structures, and stability
• Spatial reasoning & problem solving
• Fine motor skills & hand eye coordination
• Teamwork & communication in group builds

Ways to use

• Shape hunt: make triangles, squares, pentagons—then 3D versions
• Copy & extend: recreate a model from a photo and add one level higher
• Challenge cards: tallest tower, longest bridge, strongest cube
• Story builds: “build a playground / rocket / mosque dome”

Safety & care

• Contains small magnets. Age 3+ with adult supervision.
• Keep away from mouths and from devices/pacemakers.
• Wipe clean with a soft cloth; store in the box after use.
