I made the girls some magnet puzzles. Alyssa's has a wide variety of shapes and colors. Abby's is simpler - 4 animals. I found the animal pictures online and made the shapes up. I used Adobe InDesign but paint or something else would also work. Then I printed out the page on cardstock and then again on magnet paper. I turned the cardstock version into the magnet pieces by cutting them out, laminating them, and putting a strip of magnet on the back. The magnet paper fits onto a small cookie sheet from the dollar store and is interchangeable.
Quick thoughts:
- Abby can take the pieces off but she doesn't really get putting them back on in the right places yet. Alyssa loves it but is very particular that they are lined up exactly right. She is so different from her mother - a little perfectionist.
- I need to find some sort of sealant for the magnet paper. The magnets on the pieces draw on the paper.
