Under the Sea Magnetic Pixels is a wonderful play activity that holds children's attention for hours at a time, at home or on the road. The set contains over 500 flat, square, colored magnets. These small, magnetic pixels are placed, one at a time, on any of the grid cards included in the set. Numbered squares dictate what colors to place where, and as a card's squares fill up, a surprise sea creature begins to emerge. That visual delight is one children take great pleasure in pursuing, a process that engages them deeply. Each image contains 238 squares, and kids display great satisfaction and pride in the patience and focus they bring to filling them in. A portable storage tin provides the base on which grid cards rest, allowing magnets to adhere in place until playtime is over and everything goes back in the tin. The set includes 3 double-sided grid cards (5 different sea creatures to complete + 1 create your own), 2 sheets of die cut magnetic pixels in 6 different colors, and a portable, reusable storage tin.
