magnetic sheet

here's what we are making....

a giant sheet painted so your kids can get out of your hair and play with it for hours...

THE BEFORE:

don't judge...I'm going to let you see a part of me that is seen by no man....

I know right.

gross.

IN MY DEFENSE....this cookie sheet is the one I put  in the dishwasher...and I never never let it leave the house.

shot of gray spray paint

started with some sky, grass, and clouds...

and kept going until I was satisfied....

and in use....

I also painted the back just black so it was more neutral....

but you could do a road...or buildings or blue for an ocean...something boyish...just depends on the magnets you got to work with!

i had a lot more magnetics than  I thought!

you could make your own funny faces just like I did here (travel sized version)

and I thought it would be fun to make some paper dolls of my kids...

just took this (2 bucks at walmart) and added a laminated picture (the laminating isn't necessary...just a little obsessed at the moment)

and cut around

and add some commentary.

I decided to make some words so my daughter can practice her sentences.

just printed them out...and attached to the magnet sheets..

and cut apart.

if you had any altoid or mint tins you can store them in there..but if you have been following for awhile...you know I have used all my mint tins.

but I did have a little plastic case.

there is also these cute ones made from a metal dvd case..perfect travel size!!
