Janod Magneti'stories Firefighters Magnetic Storytelling Set – 30 Magnets & Fold-Out Scene
The Janod Magneti'stories Firefighters set is a magnetic play kit built around a fold-out book that opens to 55.5 x 18 cm, featuring a firefighter-themed backdrop and 30 magnetic pieces. Designed for children aged 3 to 8, this FSC-certified toy encourages creative storytelling, role play, and fine motor skill development without needing batteries or screens.
What’s inside the magnetic book?
The set includes a sturdy magnetic book that unfolds to reveal a detailed firefighter scene on one side. Inside you’ll find exactly 30 magnets shaped like firefighters, injured people, emergency vehicles (red truck, ambulance), and scene elements such as flames and fire extinguishers. The magnets are easy for small hands to pick up and reposition.
How does this toy help with fine motor skills?
Placing and moving the magnets on the magnetic surface requires precise finger movements. For a 3‑year‑old, that means practicing the pincer grip and hand‑eye coordination. Older children up to 8 can arrange more complex scenes, which also strengthens dexterity. The magnetic pieces are chunky enough to avoid frustration but detailed enough to hold interest.
Can kids take this toy on the go?
Yes. The magnetic book folds shut into a compact, book‑like shape that stores easily on a shelf or in a bag. It’s portable enough for car rides, waiting rooms, school, or visits to relatives. Because the magnets stay on the scene (or can be stored in the book), it’s a mess‑free travel activity.

What kind of stories can kids create?

Frequently asked questions
Are the magnets safe for toddlers?
Yes. The magnets are securely embedded inside the shapes (not loose). The toy is tested for ages 3+, so no small parts that pose a choking hazard. Always supervise children under 3 as with any toy containing small pieces.
Does the book come with a storage pouch?
The product itself is the book – the magnetic pieces stay on the scene or can be placed inside the closed book for storage. No separate pouch is included.
Can this be used on a refrigerator?
While the magnets are magnetic, the backdrop is designed to work with the included magnetic book. The individual magnets may stick to metal surfaces, but the book itself is the intended play surface.
What is the weight of the set?
The exact weight is not specified by the manufacturer, but because it’s a cardboard book with small magnets, it’s light enough for a child to carry easily.
The Janod Magneti'stories Firefighters set combines imaginative role play with skill‑building in a portable, screen‑free format. It’s a practical choice for parents looking for an engaging, educational toy that supports fine motor development and storytelling.
