Creativity, calm and powerful hands-on learning — all in one beautifully simple magnetic board.

 

The Kaiko Magnetic Pad is a beautifully simple yet incredibly engaging sensory and learning tool that invites creativity, focus, and hands-on exploration.

 

Using the magnetic stylus, children (and adults!) can lift the tiny metal balls to the surface to create pictures, patterns, letters, numbers, or designs — like a reusable magnetic drawing board.

 

Simply press the balls back down with your finger or the stylus to erase and start again.

 

While it’s wonderfully calming and satisfying to use, the Magnetic Pad also offers endless opportunities for learning and discovery.

 

Children can practise forming numbers, counting, number patterns, shapes, symmetry, and problem solving as they design and build on the board. It’s also fantastic for exploring arrays, skip counting, and early multiplication concepts, making it a powerful hands-on resource for developing numeracy skills in a playful way.

 

Perfect for:

• creative drawing and design

• practising letters and numbers

• exploring counting, patterns and arrays

• building number sense and early maths concepts

• fine motor development

• calming sensory input and focus

 

Many people also find the repetitive motion of lifting and pressing the balls incredibly soothing and regulating, making it a favourite sensory support for those who benefit from tactile tools.

 

Loved by children, teens and adults alike, the Magnetic Pad is ideal for home, classrooms, travel, or quiet moments, offering a screen-free activity that encourages both creativity and learning.

 

Create pictures, spell words, design patterns, explore numbers — the possibilities really are endless.

 

Teaching Tips – Easy Learning Ideas

As a teacher, I love resources that encourage hands-on exploration and curiosity, and the Magnetic Pad is packed with learning opportunities.

Here are a few simple ideas to try:

 

1. Build Number Sense

Ask your child to create numbers on the board, then represent that number in different ways — for example drawing 8 dots, making two groups of 4, or showing a pattern.

 

2. Explore Patterns and Skip Counting

Create repeating patterns with the magnetic dots or design rows and columns to introduce skip counting and early multiplication concepts.

 

3. Practise Shapes and Symmetry

Draw half a shape and ask your child to complete the other side. This builds early understanding of symmetry and spatial awareness.

 

4. Spell and Sound

Use the stylus to practise letters, words, and sounds, making this a wonderful cross-over tool for both literacy and numeracy.

 

5. Calm and Focus

Sometimes the best activity is simply creating and exploring. The repetitive motion of lifting and pressing the magnets can help support calm, focus, and regulation.
