In the spirit of National DIY Month, we’ve put together a list of fun, easy projects you can do with your kids.

Create Your Own Magnets

Our Magnetic Inkjet Paper allows you to create magnets using your inkjet printer, or using permanent markers or colored pencils! Kids love to design their own magnets. When the image is done, simply cut it out and it is ready to use.

• Make photo magnets of your children! Take digital photographs of your kids, then print the photos on the magnetic paper. Cut the photos out and you have magnets of your kids! A wonderful gift for grandparents. (We like to take pictures of our kids standing up so we have a whole-body magnet. Pictures taken against a neutral background gives you a clearer outline of your photos and makes it easier to cut out the photos subject).
