Whoever invented refrigerator magnets must not have minded their children blocking access to the refrigerator. I don’t get this.
I like to take the magnets off the fridge. Put them in muffin tins or on a cookie sheet. Lots of fun and much more portable than the fridge.

















Brilliant! I will finally get to use my baking sheets!
Great idea! My fridge isn’t magnetic, so this is a great way for us to be able to use magnets!

This is brilliant! I don’t know why I didn’t think of this.
In our house magnetic letters/numbers become rubbish to put in bins and empty into the lorry. Mind you, that happens to *everything*. Does make use of the fact they’re magnetic but he’s really learning his letters/numbers
I love this idea. Nice pictures too.
Great idea!! I think we’re almost at that point with my 17 month old. Need to bust out some new creative moves:) Thank you!
Why..have…i never thought of this??? I have one of those fridges where magnets don’t work. This is genius…and CHEAP! love it.

So smart! Thank you : )
Believe it or not, we love playing with magnets so much that I installed a huge sheet metal panel on our kitchen wall. It’s fantastic! My son plays with his magnets and it gives me a great place to hang all his beautiful artwork. It’s a really fun conversation piece, too.
