Magneti’books and Magneti’stories are wordless
books. That’s right—it’s up to the reader to create a story. How intriguing!
Each themed set comes with a hard cover and several colorful die-cut magnets.
Choose a few magnets to tell a story. It can be different every time!
Make up a dialogue between two characters. Add a few objects
and the story takes a turn! Speaking of turns, you could divide up the magnets between
a friend or two and take turns adding a part to the story! The background is
your story setting. Kids will love interacting with cheerful, brightly colored
illustrations. They are in control of the story!
Magneti’stories have a tri-fold format. They will
stand up easily if you’d like. Closed, they measure 7” x 7”. Laid open, these
are 22” long! Each comes with 30 sturdy magnets. Some depict actual characters,
humans, and animals, while others are items and props that add flair to your
story. The magnets stay on the background even when closed.
Magneti’books are larger in every way. The box opens
like a music box, creating a lovely backdrop for your magnetic figures. The
magnets store in the box part. Each book/box comes with a set of 10 picture
cards your child can re-create using the magnets. The closed box measures 7.5”
x 10” x 1.5”.
The magnets are chunky with a magnetic surface on the entire
backing. Some pieces are quite small and would be a choking hazard. NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS. Perfect for
center time, a quiet activity, imaginative play, on the go, or even teaching
storytelling! ~Sara
