Janod - Unicorn Magnetic Story Book - 30 Magnets

Enter a world where unicorns leap between clouds and feast on oversized sweets. This folding magnetic board comes with 30 magnets, including a herd of multi-coloured unicorns, ready for children aged 3 and up to invent whatever happens next. Folds to 18 x 18cm.

No cards, no rules, no finishing point

Unlike a magnetic book with templates to copy, the Magnetic Story format offers only a landscape and a cast. That sounds like less, but it produces far longer play - because a child can never complete it, they simply keep going. Unicorns get names, hierarchies, feuds and elaborate travel plans.

A stage, not a mat

The board stands upright once opened, so children play in front of it rather than over it. Other toys get invited into the scene, and the whole thing becomes a small theatre. It also means the play works on a lap, a tray table or a narrow cafe table where a flat board would not fit.

Made for the bag

Folded, it is smaller than a paperback, and every magnet stays stuck to the board. It goes to restaurants, on flights, to appointments and on holiday, and nothing gets lost between the seats.

What it develops

Making up a story is language development, sequencing practice and imaginative confidence all at once. Handling the magnets refines dexterity. And with no batteries or sound effects involved, the child provides every bit of the entertainment themselves.
