Lifts 1.8kg, and a child can feel it happen
A giant easy-grip horseshoe magnet with clearly identified poles. Lifts up to 1.8kg. Ages 6 and over. Assorted colours.
Small magnets teach a concept. This one teaches a sensation. At 1.8kg of lift a child can feel the pull start before the magnet touches anything, and that moment - force acting across a gap - is the part of magnetism that a diagram never quite delivers.
It is also one of only two magnets in this range without an under-8 ingestion warning, because it is far too large to swallow. Between it and the ferrite block, an early years room can teach magnetism properly without the small-magnet risk anywhere near it.
The grip is sized for small hands and the poles are clearly marked.
Colour is assorted and cannot be specified - the supplier sends what they have.
A size discrepancy worth knowing: the supplier's product title says 20cm and their description says 23cm. We have listed the title figure and asked them which is right.
