Magnetic Word Board

I spent hours cutting words out of magazines, gluing and laminating, but this baby was worth it!

This is a simple but time consuming project but what better way to instill literacy and learning than adding a magnetic word board in your library?

To make your own:

• Search through magazines for words that are easy to read and would make fun sentences
• Cut them out and glue them to different colored sturdy paper (card stock works really well for this).
• Laminate them
• Buy magnetic tape (available at Michael's and Joann's) and put the magnetic tape on the back of the words (in order to make them magnetic, you will probably have to use magnetic tape across the entire length of the word).

• Buy a flat oil drip tray (from an automotive supplies store) for the board.
• Buy sturdy adhesive velcro (make sure it holds atleast 10 lbs if you want to hang it on a wall).
• Put it in your library and have FUN!
