Letter Magnet Craft
Posted by Breeze on Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 8:46 pmCategory: Breeze
We’re decorating our playroom, and one of the little projects for the daddy is the creation of the magnetic board. He found a big sheet of dry erase board and some molding to frame the board with. Since Smiley is too young to understand why it’s okay to write on this one wall hanging with this one type of marker but not okay to write on the rest of the walls and furnishings with any sort of marker, we’re using the back of the dry erase board for now. We bought some magnetic paint to coat it with, and the creation process has begun.
While that adults-only activity was in progress on our back porch this afternoon, the kids and I played around on the bottom step. We painted wooden letter cut-outs that will be our magnets. We’re planning to glue small but strong magnets on the backs when the time comes, but for now, we were just coloring and painting. The craft was a hit, and the letters look great.
