I made these magnets for O before our long road trip when we went snow skiing. I printed out pictures of O, family, and some of her favorite things and decopauged them onto foam core board. I cut them out and put magnets on the back. O had fun playing with them on the magnetic wipe-off board. Wednesday, March 5, 2008
Homemade Magnetic Toy

We've made magnets and glued them to magnetic-backed regular paper. They're difficult for my little ones' hands to pick up and move, though...I love the foam core board idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love foam core board! Its also great for making Christmas ornaments, but that's another post! Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteI made a similar board on an old cookie sheet. I made magnetic animals but I really like the idea of family and baby pictures. I had a similar issue as meg with the magnet sheets so I like the idea of foam core. I also like the idea of using a white board so that when they're older it can double as a place to draw pictures or practice writing letters. Another idea I did on the backside of mine is that I glued felt to it and made up some felt characters my son could play with.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! But I'm thinking that tomorrow I'm going to make a bunch of these for some of my preschool students!!! The magnets reminded me of a binder-book my grandmother made using magazine pictures for me as a child.
