The Mini Magnetic Pad is a wonderful portable size suitable for in the bag and out and about, so you can now take this best selling versatile tool with you wherever you go. This engaging tool promotes learning and creativity. It also builds fine motor and hand eye skills. Suitable for young kids / pre-writers through to adults. How does the Mini Magnetic Pad work? Use the magnetic stylus to 'lift' the magnetic balls up. To depress them, just run your finger over them. Super sensory both on the way up and down, and fun as well as educational. Write your name, trace shapes, play noughts and crosses, practise letters or sight words, draw your own freestyle pictures or just play. When you’re finished or want to erase even one individual magnet, simply press down with your finger. Another way to use them is to turn them upside down and rub your hand across the underside for a super calming sensory experience. When running your fingers over the little embedded balls it feels quite like popping bubble wrap; so satisfying. It can also be fun to tilt the pad almost upside down and allow the 'beads' to fall into the holes and rub your hands over it. This offers a different sensation again.
