Magnets are Cool!

The Learning Resources Collection of toys offer a way for children to have fun with science. Many of them are a set of activities rather than a game, this means that there is not a huge amount of structure to what you do. However, as long as there are enough varied and fun things within the pack, no end game is not really an issue. The 'Magnets Activity Set' is a great example of just having fun with what is in front of you. Magnets are pretty much a riot anyway and anyone with iron filings or a train set with magnets has already played with magnets and enjoyed them. This set takes a step forwards and does some cool stuff that will make your child think a little. All the activities revolve around magnets, but Learning Resources have done a great job of thinking of different things you can do from mazes to cars that attract (or don't). Perhaps the most impressive element are the rings that seemingly float in the air. This is a clever way of using magnets to stimulate the imagination. Not only are the rings fun to play with, but inquisitive minds will want to know why they are floating. The kit also comes with some activities to try, both using the equipment that comes in the pack, but also by adding extra bits. The set is 5+, probably because the pieces are a little small. The age group is reflected in some of the experiments it suggests; kids will need to think a little outside the box and do some assembly. With an assortment of colourful magnets to try out, this set is fun just to mess with, but Learning Analytics have done a grand job in also stimulating the academic mind. This is a simple set, but one of the most fun that the manufacturer as designed. Magnets are cool!

I would buy this product again

We bought this activity set to use at a STEM Night. The students have found the activities to be engaging and the teachers plan to use it in their classrooms in the future.
