Pinterest tells me I need to use a oil drip pan as a magnetic board. Pinterest is right, I totally do. I hear you can find these oil drip pans at walmart, not the walmart near me, and I didn't care to do an extensive search, so I just hit the amazon. If I can't find it at amazon, then I really don't need it. $10 and a few days later the drip pan is on my doorstep, along with some new magnetic letters.
oooo so shiny
To the left of the magnetic board is a little organizer that hangs on the wall. It has a few other magnetic toys that used to live on the fridge. Oliver can practice writing his sight words, and Lydia can practice throwing the letters on the floor and occasionally putting them back, occasionally.
The bonus of online ordering is receiving boxes! We made our box into a ball drop/ski ball game.

Cut off the extra flap at the bottom.
Reinforce with some tape.
Saw a few ball sized holes.

I asked Oliver if he wanted to color it or number it, like a score board, he just wanted to play.

ReplyDeleteWill you be my mom? I'm home sick and I think you could make this a lot more fun than sleeping and netflix.
ReplyDeletePinterest is usually right. We're using a cookie sheet until I decide what room to make into a play room.
