Magnetic Personality! Kids Project; Guest
15 May 2010
I admit it I am not a person who puts things on their fridge. Okay, so If I get a random check that needs to be cashed, that can be on the side, not the front... So when Kelli from Random Thoughts of a Supermom sent this over, I thought that is a great idea, to keep the kids busy, while you are cooking and the fridge looking clean.
So, I made my own magnet board for the kitchen {with a little
TON of help from my hubby}.
First, we had to decide how big we wanted our magnet board to be. Ours was only going to be a little bit smaller than the precut pieces of metal at Lowes, so Jason brought it home and trimmed it down. I'm pretty sure that they will also cut it to size for you at the store.
We used some spray adhesive to attach the metal to the side of the kitchen cabinet, and then we attached the frame to the metal piece using the same adhesive. You could also use screws or nails to hold the metal and frame into place depending on where you put it.
Now the boys have a fun place to play with magnets, and because it is in the kitchen {but not close to the stove} they can play in the kitchen more while I am cooking dinner. Now maybe I can get my tupperware cabinet organized:)

This is genius! I think that I will be doing the same thing very, very soon!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hello! Visiting and following you back from "A Novel Idea" - love your blog!!!
That's a great idea. I don't like stuff on my fridge, either. I've lined up three inexpensive IKEA magnet boards and hung them on a narrow, little used space in our breakfast nook. That's where I keep our collected magnets and photos that I like to see all the time arranged in a sort of mosaic pattern.
Bravo!
