magnetic toy
Sticks to metal
A magnetic toy uses magnets as its central feature—for building, stacking, or creating satisfying clicks and snaps.
Building sets with magnetic tiles or rods let children construct shapes that hold together without connectors.
Magnetic putty, magnetic sand, and desk toys with floating or clicking pieces appeal to adults as fidget objects: The magnetic toy kept his hands busy during calls.
