Janod - Seabed Magnetic Story Book - 30 Magnets

Dive into underwater adventures. The Janod Seabed Magnetic Story pairs a vivid ocean backdrop with 30 sea-themed magnets - playful dolphins, curious starfish, fish and coral - in a folding format that packs down to 18 x 18cm. For children aged 3 and up.

An entire world children cannot visit

The ocean floor has a particular pull for young children precisely because it is out of reach. This board gives them somewhere to put all that curiosity, and the play tends to run longer than with more familiar settings - there is no correct version of underwater life in a three-year-old's head, so anything can happen down there.

What is in the box

• Large folding magnetic board with a colourful seabed illustration
• 30 sea-themed magnets including dolphins, fish, starfish and coral
• Folds to a compact 18 x 18cm and carries easily
• Stands vertically as a backdrop for storytelling
• Made from FSC certified cardboard; suitable from 3 years

Storytelling on a stand

Opened out, the board stands upright rather than lying flat - a small stage instead of a place mat. Children arrange their scene, then narrate it, and frequently bring in other toys as visiting characters. It invites performance in a way flat magnetic boards do not.

Travels without losing pieces

Everything stays magnetised to the board, and the whole thing folds shut to the size of a small book. It goes in a handbag for a restaurant, a backpack for a flight or a car door pocket for a long drive, and it comes home with all 30 magnets still attached.

Developmental value

Inventing an underwater story builds vocabulary, sequencing and narrative confidence. Positioning small magnets sharpens fine motor control. And because the toy supplies no sounds, lights or rules, every bit of the entertainment is generated by the child.
