Learning Resources - Mighty Magnets, Set of 6

Learning Resources Mighty Magnets: Big Questions for Curious Kids Aged 3+

Where will a magnet stick, and why? The Learning Resources Mighty Magnets Set of 6 gives children a hands-on way to explore those questions. These colourful, horseshoe-shaped magnets turn everyday discoveries into conversations about magnetism.

Try a simple prediction game: choose an object, guess whether the magnet will stick, then test it together. Each new result gives children something to notice, compare and talk about.

What's Inside

• 6 durable plastic horseshoe-shaped magnets in a rainbow of colours.
• Each magnet has a north pole on one foot and a south pole on the other.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• Discovery starts with a question: children can investigate which objects attract a magnet rather than simply being told the answer.
• A tangible introduction to magnetic poles: the two feet give you a starting point for exploring north and south poles together.
• Six magnets to explore with: share them during a small-group activity or investigate alongside your child.
• Easy to build a conversation around: ask children to predict, test and describe what happened.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• This listing is for a set of 6 magnets, not a single magnet.
