Funeral / Grief – magnet set
Funeral / Grief – magnet set
How do you explain a funeral service, or celebration of life to a child???
Using tactile tools can help ease this process:
- Explain the anticipated order of events while holding and pointing to the pieces. This can have a clarifying sense for young minds. It can help to break huge concepts into smaller chunks: this is going to happen, then this, then that... Giving kids clear ideas about what to expect can help alleviate some of the scariness of the unknown.
- Explain what each piece is and what’s for, what it represents to you.
- Go through the pieces and ask if they have any questions about any of them.
- Is there a piece in the set that’s different than the rituals they’re going to encounter? Discuss this.
- Ask how some of the pieces make them feel. You might get some surprising answers.

Always supervise play.
We do our best to make our toys safe and use the highest quality inks & materials, but they are still vinyl magnets, and should never be ingested by anyone, no matter their age.

I got this set pre-emptively and hope we won't have to get it out for a very long time but I feel prepared to talk to the kids about losing someone with this set. I love how this set is neutral and specific at the same time and also includes the photo and the video call as they're really important in our family
