Build a Magnetic Intruder Alarm
"Parents Keep Out!" With this magnetic intruder alarm, your child can explore magnetism and electrical circuits in a fun, hands-on way—no boring theory required.  For most children, science really clicks when they get to try things out for themselves and run their own little experiments.
Build the alarm yourself and discover how all the different parts work together to make it tick. Then put it to good use—keeping little siblings out of your room or protecting your secret snack stash.
This set is perfect for curious young minds who love technology and enjoy a good challenge. It’s also a great hands-on activity for children who need to see and feel things in action to make topics like technology, electrical circuits, and magnetism feel exciting and relevant.
- An exciting add-on to school science
- A fun holiday activity
- Helps develop logical thinking skills
- Can spark your child’s curiosity for building and hands-on projectsÂ
The magnetic intruder alarm requires a Phillips screwdriver and two AAA batteries (not included).Â
What makes this product special
Do you know what STEM means, and why most kids learn better when school subjects mix and mingle?
Read all about STEM, STEAM, and STREAMright here on our blog.Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
