Magnetic Matching Picture Game

Description

Combine 119 wooden magnets to recreate and bring to life imaginative scenes!

Fit a large background scene on the magnetic game board, choose one of the small suggestion cards with the same background, then find and place the magnets that match the suggested picture.

The set includes 2 double-sided background cards, 4 double-sided suggestion cards, a magnetic game board that stands up in a sturdy wooden storage case with handle. Children three and older will have fun while honing fine motor, matching, colour recognition, and problem-solving skills!

Measures 37cm x 30.5cm x 4cm

Great for early years language development, maths concepts including matching & colour recognition, creativity, cognitive skills such as problem solving and so much more.

SORT & COUNT: Have children sort the magnets into different groups – animals, people, shoes, etc. How many different groups or categories can they create? Have them count the pieces in one group, then two, then three, and so on.

PATTERN POWER: Help children identify magnets that are the same shapes – for instance, circles (wheels, ball, sun), squares (bodies), rectangles (legs, buildings, sign poles). On the game board, create a shape pattern with five magnets, and have them repeat the pattern with other magnets below it.

TRACE & PLACE: Trace some of the magnets on a piece of paper and have children colour in the shapes. Can they find magnets that match the traced shapes?

Client review

Wilma says : Hurray, an activity set with a cover for easy storage and transporting! Initially I was concerned about the 100+ magnet pieces but the first day we got the set we took some extra time and sorted the pieces into small groups and placed them in snack-size baggies. Makes it much easier for 3-year old to find what he is looking for once he decides which scene he wants to work with. When he works on the farm scene he asks for the “animal bag” and giggles when he asks for the “body parts bag” to build the farmer. At first it was a little confusing to identify arms verses legs because of stylized design but once they were placed in the “body parts bag” he was able to compare them up close and select the appropriate part. Once he assembles a picture then he likes to make up stories about what is going on with the different characters. I was surprised that we spent almost three hours that first day working on this activity with only a couple of refreshment breaks.
