By now you probably think youve seen every kind of refrigerator known to mankind. You might own a huge collection of magnets or you may have put yours away for good. Either way theres still one more magnet you need. This will be a different kind of magnet, though. This magnet is more than a magnet; its a fun game for kids as well. If you have a young child whos crazy about the family dog he or she will love the game. It features your pet as the star of the show! It doesnt really matter if your pet is a dog, a cat - or even a bird. If your child is nuts about your pet he will love playing the refrigerator magnet pet game. Start by cutting out a picture of your pet. The picture should be large enough that the child can easily play with it. If you want you can choose several different poses of your dog.
Use magnetic sheeting to turn the dog or other pet into a magnet. The magnet can be found at any craft store and is sold by the sheet or by the roll. A couple of sheets will do fine, but if you want to make the game more interesting, purchase an entire roll. That way, you can make lots of additional things for the pet game.
Magnetic sheeting has a peel-away backing that, when removed, exposes the sticky adhesive. Place the picture(s) of your pet onto the sheeting and cut. Now you can use the remainder of the sheeting to make the rest of the magnetic pet set. That could include any number of scenes, accessories and more. Look in magazines to find pictures of beds, rainbows, fields of flowers and more. You can easily turn any picture into part of the pet game. Cut out hats, necklaces, shoes, sunglasses, cars, and similar items. Place the pictures on the magnetic sheeting and cut them out. Your child will have hours of fun dressing up the family dog or other critter. He or she will really enjoy making a magnetic dog look silly, intelligent, or even ready for the beach. And youll have fun looking through magazines to find all sorts of accessories to magnetize. One roll of magnetic sheeting can cost between ten and fifteen bucks but can create literally dozens and dozens of magnets. Of course, if you cut out large items, such as trees, buildings and similar items, the magnetic sheeting will not make as many magnets as it will if you cut out ear muffs, a broom, butterflies and other small accessories. Youll find lots of great scenes for the animal by looking at old calendars, travel brochures, magazines, product packaging and even portions of posters. Position them on the magnetic sheeting and cut them out. The scene can stick to the refrigerator and the pet will then stick to the scene. Kids will have additional fun if you cut out pictures of family members, friends, and even other pets. They can incorporate these into the scenes while playing with their favorite pet magnet. Their pet and his or her friends can visit The White House, Hawaii, a nearby school, church, and other places simply by cutting out and magnetizing various pictures. Create different magnets, over a period of time, and add them slowly to the ones the child already has. Soon he or she will have a huge collection of scenes and accessories. Make a travel pet magnet set by using a round, square or rectangular baking pan. The pan should be shallow and grease-free. The child can make all sorts of scenes on the pan while traveling. He or she will be occupied for hours on end if you have a large variety of scenes and additional items.
