Janod - Farm Magnetic Story Book - 30 Magnets

There is always something to do on the farm. The Janod Farm Magnetic Story gives children a large folding magnetic backdrop and 30 farm magnets - animals, farmers, crops and equipment - to arrange into as many stories as they can invent. Folds down to 18 x 18cm.

It stands up, which changes how it is played with

Unlike a flat magnetic board, this one opens and stands vertically like a small stage. Children position their characters against it and narrate what is happening, or use it as a backdrop for other toys entirely. That upright format invites performance rather than arrangement, and it is the detail that sets the Magnetic Story range apart.

Open-ended, so it lasts

There is no card to copy and no correct arrangement, which means there is no point at which a child has finished it. Apples get picked, sheep get rounded up, the farmer loses a cow and finds it again. The story is different every time because the child is making it up, not reproducing it.

Small enough to always be in the bag

At 18 x 18cm folded it takes almost no room, and everything stays attached to the board rather than scattering. It goes to cafes, on flights, to grandparents' houses and into hospital waiting rooms without any risk of losing half the pieces.

What it builds

Narrating a story develops language, sequencing and imaginative confidence. Positioning small magnets refines fine motor control. And playing out familiar scenarios helps children make sense of the world they are observing.
