These are an engaging tool. The Magnetic Board promotes learning and creativity. It also builds fine motor and hand eye skills. We initially purchased for a pre & early primary years sensory and literacy support tool however we have found they are as popular for adults as for their kids!
Use the magnetic stylus to ‘lift’ the magnetic balls up. To depress them just run your finger over them. Super sensory & fun as well as educational. Spare stylus’s are available separately. Another way to use them is to turn them upside-down and rub hand across the underside. This is a very calming sensory experience.
When running your fingers over the little embedded balls it feels quite like popping bubble wrap… sooo satisfying.
Also fun to tilt it almost upside down and allow the ‘beads’ to fall into the holes and rub your hands over it. It gives a different sensation to using it the other way.
