Magnet Artwork
Posted on: June 17, 2009
(I have read several places about taking those magnet business cards and doing something with them, like gluing pictures on them. I decided on art work for the boys to do. As my b0ys love coloring and stickering, they enjoyed doing this.)
Things you need:
- Business magnets
- Craft foam or construction paper
- Markers, stickers, anything else you want to decorate with
- Scissors
- Black marker
- Glue (craft or hot)
Trace the business magnets on the craft foam or construction paper with the black marker.
Tracing the magnets
Have the child decorate the shape. Cut the shape out.
The artwork
Glue to the magnet.

(I have also heard of moms who make a scan of the child’s artwork and print it in business card size. This would work for the magnets too.)

(I was trying to find a twist on the picture frame idea because grandparents and parents just love pictures. The boys really liked decorating the frames. Evan had a unique twist on the stickers as he used Halloween spiders.)
Things you need:
- Craft foam
- Scissors
- Pen
- Markers, stickers, anything you want to decorate with
- Glue (craft or hot)
- Picture
- Magnets
Trace out a square for the picture on the craft foam. Cut out the square. (I left an inch and a half around the picture for the frame.)

Bookmarkers

(Both my mom and mother-in-law are huge readers, so I thought this was a wonderfully easy project to do. The boys love decorating with stickers, but you can use anything else you would like.)
Things you need:
- Cardstock
- Scissors
- Stickers, crayons, markers, paint, stamps, anything you want
- Clear contact paper
- Optional: hole punch, ribbon
Cut the cardstock to a size you like for a bookmarker. I cut mine about 6 by 2.
Naked bookmark
Have the child decorate the bookmark.
Decorated bookmark
Cover the bookmark with contact paper. (Ok, I haven’t done that yet, but I will. Tonight.) If you would like, punch a hole at the top of the bookmark and tie a length of ribbon through it.
