Children learn to use magnets

That our magnets are excellent for teaching children important concepts is proven by their use.

Children learn to use magnets

Dear Magnet Shop Team,
Participation is the main theme this calendar year for the Raven Group (16 children aged 1.1-3.10 years) at the Kiebitzweg daycare center in the Werl North Family Center. The children are learning to participate in decision-making, to make decisions, and to accept them.
Our calendar is designed to help them with this. Every morning, we discuss the day's activities during our morning circle. The children learn the names of the months, days of the week, and dates along the way. Pictograms symbolize the individual activities. These are hung up by the children on the respective day. Using their own symbol, the children indicate their participation in the activities.

We faced the question of how to attach the symbols and pictograms to the boards. The material had to be flexible, meet safety requirements, and withstand rough handling.

The laminated pictures were attached to the magnets with double-sided tape and moved around in a test run. The strong adhesive force of the magnets: Disc magnet 25.0 x 3.0 mm Y35 ferrite - holds 750 g, which bear the symbols, convinced us.

The pictures remain displayed throughout the week so that each child can view their choice. At the end of the week, one child takes a photo, which we use to document our calendar in a photo book.

Please do not use neodymium magnets for this!
