Magnet Games for the Magnet Center

0 comments

Do you have a magnet board in your preschool classroom? I love to add learning fun into centers anyway I can! So, when I got on the Oil Drip Pan trend and got one for my classroom I was excited.

But, it didn’t take long for me to realize that switching out the magnet center wasn’t going to be easy…. there just aren’t that many magnetic manipulatives out there (that don’t cost an arm and a leg!). This lack of magnetic manipulatives left my new magnet center kinda bland.

So, a new creation was born- Magnet Games for the Magnet Center!

Level Up your Preschool Science Centers

Is planning and changing out your preschool science center hard for you? Do you struggle to find activities and materials that children can use both independently and keep them engaged?

Well… I hear ya. For many, many years my science center was kinda blah. There weren’t many materials to put in the center and children would hop in, touch some things and hop back out. They certainly weren’t engaged (unless it was magnets).

So, what’s a teacher to do? Revamp them, of course 😉 Watch as I share this revamp with you!
