My kiddos love magnets. And, okay, so do I. I started them out with a set of foamy educational magnets. They are awesome. We can practice words and play at the same time. But they grew tired after a few months…

It was a while before my little ones were old enough to not swallow my fancy grown-up magnets, but we have officially reached that point so I put some out on the fridge. It was immediately obvious that there weren’t enough magnets for both toddlers. So we went to the craft store and picked out some materials to make a new set! I let the kids pick out the stones we used, and ours were new, but I think the next batch will just be shells or river rocks we find on our walks. The beauty of these is that you can really use anything. Simple. cheap. fun.





They can be really fun, and they make terrific gifts, too. Just make sure your kids don’t eat them. It can be pretty dangerous. You can do this by watching your kids like a hawk and/or making sure the magnets you make are too big to swallow.
Simple and inexpensive is perfect. I LOVE the tub picture! What kind of camera do you use?

Hi Becky! I use a Canon Rebel EOS. It’s a digital SLR and I love it. Mine is kinda old at this point but still seems to do the trick. Makes everything I do look prettier 😉

Thanks! Your pictures have turned out great. I was looking through your site the other day and didn’t realize that you also published a cookbook. You are multi-talented!
