Magnetized Minds!

Help me give my students literature based Magna-Tiles for creative, hands on learning and endless fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Summerfield's classroom raised $296

This project is fully funded

My Project

Children's literature based magnetic tiles for kids bring beloved children’s books such as “The Very Hungry Caterpillar", "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", and "The Grinch" to life on vibrant magnetic tiles! All the images on the tiles match the corresponding book. The story based images on the tiles allow students to create 3D structures to improve early literacy skills such as creative storytelling, sequencing, language development, and problem-solving. The tiles are numbered 1–5 to help them practice number recognition & counting. They will help students learn STEAM skills, such as geometry and spatial awareness, and building.

Magnetic tiles allow kids to experience hands-on learning through literature, creativity, and building!

What 4-5 years old child would not love a gift that combines books and magnetic tiles? They are colorful and sturdy and make imaginative play a really fun adventure. They are also kid powered and do not need a charger, internet, or battery. They are fabulous for so many types of learning. They will be used in my classroom as part of story time with the matching book and other story props. They will also be used in our classroom book center for independent story based play and learning.
