Description
I Can Be … a Scientist!Magnetic Activities in a Decorative Tin invites tamariki into a world of exploratory pretend play and science role-play. The sturdy tin opens to reveal two vibrant background scenes, a lab bench and a starry observatory - paired with over 50 magnetic pieces illustrating helmets, lab coats, telescopes, tools, and more.
Kids can mix and match gear on each scene to become astronomers, chemists, paleontologists, or inventors. It’s imaginative, tactile, and great for quiet time, travel, or when tamariki want to play detective with science tools.

Builds fine motor skills and visual coordination
Handling small magnetic pieces and placing them accurately on the tin takes precision, spatial awareness, and eye-hand coordination - key readying skills for many learning tasks.
Fosters narrative thinking and planning
Creating scenes and imagining mini-stories, like an astronomer spotting a comet or a chemist mixing a potion supports sequencing, creative thinking, and the ability to make ideas come alive.
