Kids Giant Horseshoe Magnet

Item #: 20639


This magnet attracts...kids! Little scientists will love testing this giant horseshoe magnet against various household objects (does it stick to this? How 'bout this?), learning basic laws of physics in the process. Scientifically accurate, with a north and south pole at each foot-like end that create a magnetic field. Great learning toy. For ages 3 and up. Colors may vary.

    Not so mighty

        Comments about Learning Resources Kids Giant Horseshoe Magnet:

        The magnet is so weak, it doesn't pick anything up or stick to much of anything. We bought them for Easter Stuffers, price was right, but not right enough for the lack of interest my kids had after 5 mins.

        Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

        Merchant response: Thank you for your feedback. This toy magnet is designed to introduce children to the concept of magnets. And we apologize that it did not work out for your. Please contact our Customer Service Department for further assistance.

                I bought two, one as gift and one for my own son. Thought i would be more powerful and cooler but just two small magnets on the end of the plastic handle. Not worth it unless you need it for something specific.

                  His favorite Christmas toy! Amazing way to teach about ferromagnetic forces and metal constitutions. He goes around the house, learning as he touches various objects with his magnet. Easy to hold, easy to find, fun and inexpensive. Great toy!

                  Sadly, it's barely a magnet

                    I was very excited to find this online because of the size and shape. We're trying to teach my 2 year-old about magnets. Unfortunately, it is barely a magnet at all. It will not stick to or pick up anything much heavier than a paper clip. We got it to hold a tiny tea spoon for a few seconds before falling off. I think it only confused the concept and was cast aside in under three minutes, never to be used again. We have to look for a better one now.

                      My four year old cannot stop experimenting with this magnet. He is constantly testing it out on items around the house, exploring what is magnetic and what is not.
