Magnetic Blocks

Magnetic Building Blocks for Students

Magnetic blocks can take a few different forms. For instance, magnetic blocks for toddlers tend to be larger and shaped like traditional 3D blocks. They might have limited piece options, such as rods and balls that stick together. As kids get older, they have a little more dexterity and can work with more complex magnetic block sets. These sets might have:

• More shapes. Many magnetic blocks use flat shapes that are more like panels than blocks. They have magnetic edges or corners and link together, either with each other or to magnetic connecting balls, to create any number of geometric shapes. The pieces might feature the outlines of the shapes or filled-in panels. They're great for learning math and participating in general building activities. 
• Ball runs. Kids can create funky mazes that send balls to their destinations. They get to problem-solve their way to a creative, dynamic setup.
• Mechanics. Some kits are a little more complicated and zero in on science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (STEAM) skills. They ask students to use their knowledge of polarity to control magnetic movements and accomplish different challenges, all outlined in handy activity cards. Students might build a bridge span, moving wheel or spinning star. Of course, unstructured building also provides hours of fun, especially with the dynamic components.

Whichever age range applies to your students, magnetic blocks are excellent for developing essential skills. Kids can use them to hone their fine motor skills, understanding of basic building concepts and problem-solving skills. Plus, they're just plain fun! Kids can build whatever shapes they imagine and break them apart.
Use these blocks in any number of activities, such as building different math shapes or making custom towers. Since they come in various colors and shapes, they can also be a great way to talk about colors, counting and patterns while playing.
