Description
The Animal Farm Magnetic Wall Panel is a compact 17½-inch square Gressco panel that puts farm animals and letters inside tempered safety glass, with two magnetic wands mounted to the maple frame for children to move the pieces across the illustrated farmyard scene.
Each element inside the panel is split into two pieces, so children practice matching halves - animal body parts, letter components, or combinations of both - as they explore the scene with the wands. The matching challenge adds a cognitive layer that keeps the activity engaging beyond simple magnet play.

The split-piece mechanic is what distinguishes this panel from standard magnetic wall toys. Aligning two halves of an animal or letter requires more precision and visual discrimination than simply moving a whole piece - children have to position each half carefully for the match to look right, which demands sustained attention and fine motor control.
That extra degree of difficulty is appropriate for the preschool through early elementary age range and gives older children within that range something to genuinely work at.
Built for Professional Environments
All pieces are permanently sealed inside tempered safety glass. The two magnetic wands are mounted to the frame and stay with the panel. Nothing falls out, nothing requires retrieval, and the surface wipes clean with standard disinfectant wipes. Engineered specifically for healthcare environments with the most demanding infection control standards.
Where These Work Best
The split-piece matching challenge sustains engagement longer than standard magnetic panels because it gives children a specific goal to achieve rather than open-ended movement. Two mounted wands allow two children to work the panel simultaneously. The compact 17½" size fits in smaller wall spaces, and the farm theme is broadly appealing to the toddler through early elementary age range.
The letter halves content gives this panel a literacy dimension that the Animal Farm Pathfinder does not have. For Pre-K and kindergarten classrooms, matching letter halves with the magnetic wands reinforces letter recognition in a hands-on format. For OT settings, the precision required to align split pieces is a more demanding fine motor task than moving whole pieces, giving therapists a progression tool for children who have mastered standard magnetic panel activities.

Cleaning Your Waiting Area Toys
Keeping waiting area toys clean is simple when you use the right products. Our wall toys and activity panels are built with smooth, hard surfaces specifically designed to clean quickly and safely alongside other high-contact surfaces in your facility.
We recommend hospital-grade disinfectant wipes such as those from the PDI line, which are widely used in medical, dental, and therapy settings. When choosing a disinfectant wipe for your waiting area toys, look for the following:
| Effective against germs | Choose wipes that clearly state effectiveness against common bacteria and viruses. This information is listed on the packaging based on the wipe's active ingredients. |
| Safe for children and staff | Look for wipes labeled safe for use in environments where children are present. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions, including any hand-washing recommendations after use. |
| Low odor and low residue | Modern disinfectant wipes are designed to clean thoroughly without leaving harsh chemical fumes or irritating residue, making them ideal for enclosed spaces like waiting rooms and therapy clinics. |
| Fast drying | Most hospital-grade wipes air dry within approximately 90 seconds, allowing toys to be returned to use immediately with minimal downtime for your staff. |
| Surface compatible | Always confirm the wipe is appropriate for the surface being cleaned. Some formulations are not recommended for certain finishes, so checking the label prevents surface damage over time. |
| Environmentally conscious | Many disinfectant wipes are now made with biodegradable materials and reduced chemical concentrations, offering strong cleaning performance with a lower environmental footprint. |
Using the right disinfectant wipes keeps your waiting area toys clean, safe, and ready for the next child, while protecting both your patients and your staff. If you have questions about cleaning a specific product, we are always happy to help at help@sensoryedge.com or 800-734-8019.
