Give this Magnetic vs. Non Magnetic Experiment a try!
I picked up this magnetic wand from the Lakeshore Learning Store ($1.99) and put together a small box of items for B to experiment with and sort. I modeled how to do it with a few pieces and he took over from there. Now he hunts for things to test out and says “Let’s see what will happen!”.

This is an experiment after my own heart - no big prep necessary and fully self-directed. Thanks for sharing it!
