I bought this set from Amazon a few months ago (Learning Resources Classroom Magnet Lab Kit). This set comes with all the magnetic items you see as well as activity ideas for teaching about magnets.This has been a great activity for the children to explore and play with when I needed something simple and easy to just pull out and do. Magnets are fascinating to children, and just playing with them allows a lot of exploration. We have been very happy with this purchase. When I bought it, it was about 30 dollars and as I write the post, it is about 37 dollars. So you might try to find it cheaper if you like, or wait for the price to lower on Amazon. You never know what the prices will do :) At least I don't.

What fun! My friend had some of these and my kids loved them. Thx for the reminder....need to add to my wish list :)
Oh, yes. At our older son's science share night, the live snails and the magnets were the things that our younger son gravitated toward. He's almost three. I can imagine this using up lots of time in an educational way. :)
