Magnetic Pad
Warning:
Choking hazard. Small parts.A best-selling product, the Magnetic Pad is the ultimate in learning and engagement. This sensory toy is excellent for all ages and provides healthy and beneficial fun hours.
Magnetic Pad Details
Coming in black or red, the Magnetic Pad is a hand-held, self-contained magna board. It's comprised of a panel with 380 holes. Within each hole is a secured magnetic ball.
The Magnetic Pad includes a stylus. The ball draws to the top when its tip touches one of the steel beads. Doing this multiple times allows the user to create images, letters, and numbers. Then flip it over to clear the slate for a new project or press down on a single bead to erase that space.
Educational Benefits
This two-piece set opens the door to unlimited opportunity. Its educational benefits touch upon a range of fields.
Creativity
Draw pictures. Conceive works of art. Imagine, discover, invent, and create. Design anything with the Magnetic Pad's limitless potential.
Literacy
The Magnetic Pad is proven to improve literacy. Enhance writing, reading, and spelling abilities by forming letters and words.
Mathematics
Make learning fun. Use the board to generate numbers. Increase counting and problem-solving skills.
Sensory Assistance
Not only does this magna board provide learning assistance, but it's an invaluable resource for sensory stimulation.
Touch Stimulation
Rigid yet smooth, the tactile feeling of the stylus is satisfying for many users. This Magnetic Pad is a wonderful exercise resource for dexterity and fine motor skills, too.
Soothing Sounds
The gentle snapping of the steel beads is quite calming. Many people like the board because it mimics the sensation of popping bubble wrap.
Energy Diversion
A tremendous fidget toy, this magna board is a helpful go-to tool for therapeutic purposes. It improves focus and concentration and establishes an outlet for positive energy release. The Magnetic Pad is a wonderful resource for harm minimisation, emotional regulation, and mental health.
Use the magnetic stylus to 'lift' the magnetic balls up. Then, to depress them, just run your finger over them—super sensory & fun as well as educational.
Also, it is fun to tilt it almost upside down and allow the 'beads' to fall into the holes and rub your hands over them. It gives a different sensation to using it the other way.
Great for multi-sensory literacy training. They're an excellent tool for break-out tasks from homework or during therapy sessions, literacy & maths exercises, and motor planning. They are also super calming (like popping bubble wrap).
The Magnetic Pad magna board with magnetic pen allows inquisitive minds to tap into their creativity and hours of fun and focus.
The board has 380 holes containing a tiny (and secure) magnetic ball. The mini beads are drawn to the top when you pass the stylus across the top, creating your picture.
Write your name, trace shapes, play noughts and crosses, practise letters or sight words, draw your freestyle pictures or play.
Press down with your finger when you're finished or want to erase even one individual magnet.
The magnetic stylus promotes pencil grip.
The Magnetic Board promotes learning and creativity. It also builds fine motor and hand-eye skills.
The magnetic "pull" and the pushing, when erasing, provide input to the proprioceptive receptors in the muscles and joints of the hands.
We love that the Magnetic Board comes with a handle and storage for the pen. A sensible, practical design.

If you’re looking for Kaiko Fidgets, check our selection today. We offer toys and tools that help children with different special needs.
Kaiko Fidgets began in 2017 when the creator, Kai, saw a lack of fidget styles and designs in the Australian market. He needed them for himself, as he struggled with dyslexia and autism. By the age of 11, he started to make designs with the help of his mother. One of his first designs was a metal fidget, which quickly became popular in his area.
The family began Kaiko Fidgets after seeing a business opportunity. Its name is a combination of Kai and his younger brother, Kobi, and the company showcases the siblings’ favourite colours within the brand. With the help of their parents, they have been able to develop different types of fidgets and toys to help special needs children.
With a careful selection of products and materials, each product can assist with a person’s daily life. For example, some tools are for harm minimisation, while others give a soft and soothing feeling. Other products are similar to the fidgets, providing rhythmic stimming, which helps against anxiety. The goal is to provide support to a wide range of needs.
FAQs
Keeping the fidgets sanitised.
They are fine to wipe , the trick is to wipe excess moisture off them. If left wet/damp they can rust in appearance a little but generally does not affect function. Wiping with an antibacterial wipe or damp cloth then drying off thoroughly is the key.
To shorten necklace:
Simply cut and retie knot at each end to the desired length & pull knot back into the casing of the clasp. We find the easiest way to find optimum length is to have arms at right angle across belly. The bead length should be about at this height.
