BRAND NEW! Seasonal Magnet Hunt Pack
Includes seasonal picture cards (leaves, snowflakes, shamrocks, flowers, and more!) along with matching pages for each set.
Simply laminate, cut them out, and tape a small paperclip to the back of each picture so they can be picked up with a magnet wand. There are SO many ways to play!

How to Play:
- Obstacle Course Hunt Set up a simple obstacle course in your classroom or therapy space. Hide seasonal cards under cones, inside tunnels, or beside balance beams. Kids carry a magnet wand as they move through the course, collecting one card per round and matching it to the seasonal sheet at the finish line.
- Scooter Board Search Hide cards around the room and have kids ride scooter boards to locate them. Once they spot a picture, they reach, stretch, and use their wand to pick it up—then scoot back to match it on the sheet.
- Color Match Relay Group activity gold! Place all cards at one end of the room. Split kids into teams and call out a color. Kids race to find a card of that color with their magnet wand and return to match it.
- Hidden Picture Hunt Hide cards under beanbags, on shelves, or taped to a chair leg. Kids search the room to discover hidden pictures, using their magnet wand to pull the card up and then match it to the seasonal page.
- Stair Step Challenge Place cards at the top of a safe stairway or step platform. Kids climb up, pick up one card, and return to match it.
- Sensory Bin Station Place cards in a sensory bin with rice, pom poms, or dried beans. Kids dig with the magnet wand to pull cards out of the bin and then match them to the sheet.
