Solution
A magnet has two poles - north pole and south pole.
Like poles repel each other.
Unlike poles attract each other.
To know the pole of the magnet of the front end of the toy, bring the north pole of a bar magnet near it.
If the toy moves farther, the pole of the front end is the north pole.
If the toy moves towards the bar magnet, the pole of the front end of the toy is the south pole.
