Explaining magnets to preschoolers

Grab the markers and a large popsicle stick. These are the tongue depressor size.

Have your kids color designs on one side, or both sides. Your child can make these designs however they would like. Strips, polka dots, hearts, stars, rainbows..whichever they want.
