Possum was really curious to know what I was doing and probably because I was laughing to myself constantly. “Uppy” she would say over and over. I picked her up and let her hold the little magnetic creature I’d made. She smiled and clearly thought my work was wonderful. Unfortunate this activity, with all it’s small pieces, is well out of her age group.
Hehe, now that looks like fun for the whole family. I have to get me a magnet wand!
SOOOO RAD!
Haha too funny. I love these. (And could Possum be any cuter? She is adorable!)
So many ideas come to mind for my 4th Grade class. The many different combinations they can make. They can draw the different faces and things they come up with and then compare and contrast using 2 or 3 Venn Diagrams. Students could then write about their drawings using their creations in a story telling about how they came to be and why they look like they do.

Great idea! must find a magnetic wand, though there are not many craft stores where I live in the Northern Isles. Will try online. Thanks!
Hi Anne,
Thanks so much for your comment. My fingers are crossed you are able to track down a magnetic wand. They are worth the money and you can find other great activities to go with them online. Best wishes. Kate
Kate,
I love your site! I’m a grandmother and former preschool teacher and you are so creative. I get tired of always buying my grandchildren things (ages 3 and 7 mo). You’ve given a ton of ideas to just be with them and discover at the same time.
Thank you. I loved to do the same thing when my kids were little. Exploring with children opens our adult eyes to wonder again.
I will be with your postings for quite a while dear…Peggy
Thank you Peggy! You have made my day. 🙂
I am a Kindergarten teacher. You have provided me with awesome ideas to use in teaching about magnets in my class. These ideas are wonderful and i hadn’t thought of these before.
Thanks
Marlene, you’re wonderful! Thank you so kindly for your lovely message. I’m thrilled I’ve been helpful to you. Wishing you a lovely 2017.
