Recently, as much as I am happy to spend money on toys/activities for my son, I have wanted to also make things at home.

My latest midnight craft is magnets. Fridge magnets specifically, so that rather than get frustrated when he cannot reach the ones we use to hold notices up, Theo Prana can play with his own set of colourful, felt magnets.

I bought some easy cut magnets from Amazon, and found some felt that I’d bought donkeys ago! Grabbed some scissors, a pen and a bit of PVA glue, and was all set. Oh and of course, I needed a snack too!

I ended up with 12 magnets and added one strip to the back of a (very scratched) kids mirror that he plays with. For now I’ll leave it at that, but I can’t wait to make some with Theo’s own input when he’s older! I think it’s a fab rainy day activity and it’ll be something he can learn with too.
