Spring is my favorite season, and I am here to share our Spring themed magnetic tiles ramp and 3 ways to play. Give it a try and tag me, @pandamommyteacher on Instagram so I can reshare your play.
3 Ways to Play with a Magnetic Tile Ramp
- Domino: Arrange magnetic tiles perpendicular to the ones on the ramp. Make a little tunnel and drop a ball down the ramp to cause a domino effect. (Use a heavier ball to ensure it can knock down the tiles – I used wooden balls).
- Coin Drop: Add triangles to the magnetic tile ramp and slide the coins down.
- Ball Run: You can also use balls and create a catcher at the end. (I made a car to catch everything at the bottom)
