I had tried this back in February with felt backgrounds on the cookie sheets. The magnets didn't stick at all. This time we tried it with paper glued down and covered by contact paper. It definitely was an improvement over the felt, but at the end of the day I ripped the paper off. We did it again the next day with just the plain trays and it was so much better. I think I'll be leaving the sheet alone for a while...
Quick thoughts:
- Alyssa really figured out the concept of the magnets - in that the pieces stuck to the board. I think the bare board helped a lot, since the pieces actually stuck... She liked putting them on better than taking them off, so I cleared the board a few times.
- Abby is still eating the pieces for the most part. But she would put a couple on and off.
- This was really fun for a new way to identify and practice the animals and nature words. Alyssa learned "Sun" and "Whale".
- I think I need to make some new magnets. We are getting pretty good with the animals. Maybe a set of food next?
