Learning Resources Magnetworks STEM Explorers: Magnetic Science Kit for Kids 5+

Explore magnetic science with the Learning Resources Magnetworks kit

The Magnetworks kit invites young explorers to dive into magnetism through hands-on play. Designed for children ages 5–8, this 46-piece set combines colorful components with a sturdy, wipe-clean design to deliver a screen-free, tactile learning experience that feels like a mini lab in a classroom or at home.

With a vivid 20-page activity guide and 14 engaging experiments, kids can observe magnetic force in action and tackle challenges that require careful thinking. From making a car move without direct contact to spinning a pinwheel and attempting levitation-inspired setups, the activities reward curiosity with visible results and repeated experimentation. The open-ended format supports both solo discovery and collaborative projects, encouraging kids to test ideas, compare outcomes, and adjust their approach as they learn.
