Summer MAGNA-TILE Printables for STEM Tubs and Makerspace Bins!

Bring summer fun into your classroom with Carly and Adam’s Summer Magnetic Tile Cards Printables! Designed specifically for elementary teachers, this engaging STEM resource combines hands-on building with creative problem-solving to make learning exciting.

Students use magnetic tiles to build seasonal objects like beach balls, popsicles, sandcastles, and more. Each card challenges learners to think critically, apply the Engineering Design Process, and explore geometry through real-world connections.

Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core State Standards (CCSS), these task cards encourage inquiry, collaboration, and perseverance.

With differentiated challenges—such as recreating designs, swapping colors, or inventing new summer-themed builds—students of all levels can participate meaningfully.

Includes:

• 10+ Magnetic Tile Printables featuring summer-themed builds (beach ball, fish, pineapple, etc.)
• Open-ended challenge prompts to spark creativity and critical thinking
• Teacher instructions for fostering inquiry, reflection, and redesign
• Student recording sheets for counting and graphing shapes used in their builds

Perfect for STEM labs, math centers, early finishers, or summer-themed units, these cards make it easy to integrate STEM, math, and creativity into your classroom. Plus, because magnetic tiles are non-consumable materials, you can use this resource again and again.
