I bought this sign for my Easter Decor:
After I popped the flowers off the sign I didn’t want to just throw them away, but honestly they really aren’t that cute so I knew I’d never use them for any of *my* projects. However, my 5-year-old daughter LOVES the flowers so I decided to take a few magnets and glue them to the backs.
It was so easy and took me all of about 2 minutes from start to finish.
Cute? No?
She loves them.
And of course in typical 8-year-old-son fashion, he was jealous that she got magnets and he didn’t, so I pulled a few legos out of his bin and glued some magnets to the backs of them as well… just for him.
SO EASY!!
And now both kids are pleased as pie.
Oh, you have so inspired me! I need to arm myself with one of those glue guns! ;O)
Stopped by from SITS. Hope you are having a lovely day. xx

I love this idea. I banished all magnets to the backyard where the girls stick them on the (ugh) metal screen door we have yet to replace. I bet they would have a lot of creative fun if I made them magnets out of all of the little odds and ends we collect.
You have new fan!
I woulda thrown them away. I’m so uncreative it’s not even funny. Wish I could say differently, but I can’t. But, I can say that I love your header picture, deign, thingy. Very cute!
LOVE these!! What a great idea for the magnets! Your blog is very inspiring!
The flower magnets are so cute. I like the lego magnets, too. That’s better than stepping on them on the floor! But my son saw yours and said, “your not doing that with ours!” lol Thanks for the ideas!
What a great idea! Such a wonderful way to recycle what you already have…and keep the kiddos happy at the same time!
Very creative and cool. I admire that you were able to do that. Visiting from SITS. Hope to see you soon at my place.

No freakin’ way?! Magnets out of legos?! Cool!
I have a boy and a girl, too, and it must always be “even Steven” in our house, too! 🙂 I really like the flower magnets, but those Lego magnets were my favorites. My son would play all day on my refrigerator if I made them. 🙂 Thanks for the great idea!

Love the flower and Lego magnets! Great ideas – thanks!
My kids LOVE magnets – they are usually strewn from one end of the house to the other! I’ll have to pick up some magnet pieces and make them some fun ones!
I like easy and always have ‘junk’! Great idea!
