Zoological Magnets | Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle | Wood Magnets

Looking for wooden animal fridge magnets that feel a bit special? These Vilac Zoological Magnets are made from wood and come from a brilliant collaboration between Vilac and the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, drawing on historic natural history imagery connected to Buffon’s celebrated illustrated work and a 19th-century zoological lotto set preserved in the museum’s collections. The result is a set of beautifully detailed animals that look striking on the fridge or a magnetic board, and instantly invite little chats, sorting games, and storytelling.
They’re surprisingly versatile, too: some children will love moving the wooden magnets into neat lines and categories (quiet, focused play that supports attention and visual memory), while others will turn them into a daily “what animal is this?” routine that builds vocabulary and confidence without feeling like learning. They’re also a lovely pick for playrooms, classrooms, and speech-and-language activities, where the clear illustrations can spark conversation across different ages and abilities. At BeoVERDE, we love how this brings museum-inspired animal art into everyday play in a sturdy wooden format that’s made to be handled again and again.
