Add magnets to Lego bricks
Lego bricks have round cavities underneath, which are perfect for placing magnets in them. Magnetised Lego bricks are not only suitable as bulletin board magnets; they have many other advantages. More about that later.Note from the supermagnete team:
Magnets are not toys! If you let your children play with the magnetised Lego bricks, please explain to them the dangers of magnets and make sure the magnets won't come off the legos. Swallowing several magnets can be fatal!

Material needed for Lego magnets:
- 1 piece of parchment paper
- 1 coffee/tea cup
- Adhesive, e.g. UHU MAX REPAIR
- 1 toothpick
- Various Lego bricks
- 1 spoon or something else magnetic that you can use to put pressure on
- Disc magnets S-05-02-N52N
Glue in the magnets
Then use the toothpick to put a little adhesive into the Lego and place the magnet in the cavity by attaching it to the spoon and pressing the magnet into the Lego brick (see pictures below).Note from the supermagnete team:
Since the magnets are practically the same size as the cavities in the Lego, you could leave the adhesive out.
You can skip the next but one step then.
Show time!

They really like the possibilities of the new "special bricks" that can solve previously unsolvable Lego problems.You can also find similar, ready-to-use products in our online shop:
