Fun With Magnets

Last night, T spent so much time playing with the magnets on the fridge that I decided to set him up with a magnet activity. I picked several strong magnets and had him help me pick out small objects around the house that he thought a magnet might pick up.



After a good hour of running through the house, giggling and picking out different things to test, he arrived at a conclusion. The magnet stuck to nails, screws, a screwdriver, nail clippers, and tweezers. A hairbrush, soda bottle, backpack, and penny? Not so much.



His favorite part of the whole activity? Putting a strong magnet on one side of his finger and a strong magnet on the other side, and feeling the magnetic pull through his skin.
