The Magnetic Poetry Story Dave Kapell, founder of Magnetic Poetry, was suffering from writer's block while trying to compose song lyrics. To overcome this problem, he wrote down interesting words on pieces of paper and rearranged them, looking for inspiration. What he hadn't figured into this experiment was his allergies. One good sneeze and any progress was sent flying across the room. Dave decided to glue the words to pieces of magnets and stick them to a pizza tin. Then he got hungry and the now magnetized words made their way to the refrigerator door. Before too long, Dave wasn't the only one rearranging his would-be song lyrics. When friends came over, Dave noticed they started to move the magnets around, amusing themselves by writing the first magnetic poems. After seeing his friends having fun, Dave thought he might be able to sell his word kits at a local craft fair. He made up 100 kits and set up shop at Calhoun Square, a mall in the Uptown area of Minneapolis. All 100 kits were gone after 3 hours. That night, he recruited as many friends as pizza and beer could draw and made up more kits--all of which sold as rapidly the next day. From these beginnings, Magnetic Poetry¨ has now sold over three million word kits, over one billion word tiles--growing from the Original Kit to a kid's line of kits, to foreign language kits, to Voice/theme kits.

This kit is a colorful collection of magnetic word and phrase tiles chosen to lead kids toward outlandish storylines. Suggested by educators, we've color-coded the tiles so kids learn about the different parts of language. Blue tiles are nouns and noun phrases, red tiles are verbs and verb phrases, yellow tiles are prepositions... you get the idea. For ages 5 and up.
CONTAINS - over 150 magnetic word tiles in a cute, colorful, giftable 4.5 x 6.5 inch box. Your child can write you messages, poems, or generative esoteric word art masterpieces whose meaning is lost even to them. They're not just fridge words, your child can write an ode on your commode, an elegy on your doorknob, a haiku on your car hood, or a novelette on your omelette maker.
MIX AND MATCH WITH OTHER KITS - Tile height is 0.375 Inches, compatible with nearly all other Magnetic Poetry sets. As your child grows, expand with one of over dozens of other themed kits. The possibilities are endless! You can mix and match to create custom combinations, and custom gift ideas. Magnet words make a great bedroom, or locker decoration. They're also a perfect gift for burgeoning poetry lovers, or a gift for young writers of any kind.
