Design your own magnet maze game! Fun physics<\/a> + art (STEAM<\/a>) activity for  kids.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Design<\/p>\n

We’ve been playing with magnets again! This time we explored the concept of magnetic force through<\/em> an object, and how we could use this force to create a little magnetic maze game!

Suitable for<\/h3>\n

I’d suggest this activity for preschoolers<\/a> or kindergarteners<\/a>. Bumble Bee was 3.5 years old when we did this activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Please note…<\/h3>\n

Only try this activity if your child no longer puts things in their mouth. Either way, I recommend using a large-sized magnet. The ones we used here are a few inches long, and not easily swallowed. Smaller magnets that could potentially be swallowed are particularly dangerous if swallowed concurrently with other magnets, or items attracted to magnets, as they can attract each other inside the gut and cause all sorts of nasty problems. You know your child. Use your best judgement, and please supervise at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
