Choking hazard. Small parts.Magnetic Drawing Pad for Tactile Play, Learning and Fine Motor Practice
Lift, press, draw and erase with 380 securely enclosed magnetic balls.
The Kaiko Magnetic Pad turns simple mark-making into a highly tactile activity. Run the included magnetic stylus across the board to lift the tiny magnetic balls into place, then press them back down with a finger to erase and start again.
Draw, write and practise
Use the 380-hole board for pictures, letters, numbers, sight words, tracing, noughts and crosses or free play. The stylus offers a pencil-like grip while the magnetic pull adds extra sensory feedback to each movement.
Satisfying tactile feedback
Pressing the raised balls back into the board creates a bubble-wrap-like tactile sensation. You can also tilt the board and run a hand across the underside for a different sensory experience.
How to use it
Move the stylus over the board to lift the magnetic balls. Press individual balls down with a finger to erase them. Store the stylus in the built-in holder when finished. The balls are secured inside the board and are not intended to be removed.

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.
