Tricks of the Trade: Fun With Magnetic Paint!

I painted these guys in the new toddler room at church

Each of the critters is "holding" a magnetic board painted right on the wall.  We considered using chalkboard paint in this room, but then I remembered that my toddler eats chalk.  She also eats mulch and rocks, which makes her an exception to the norm, but we didn't want to take any chances.

The teachers plan on using the boards for lesson plans and other activities for the kids.

Here is another space where I used magnetic paint.  It's kind of a Part 2 to the Keeping it Simple post from this room:

On the wall adjacent to the Serengeti mural I painted these

The silhouettes are done in magnetic paint!  I wanted the kids to have fun "stations" to play in and I was looking for an idea to coordinate with the mural in the same room.

These graphic shapes are a dynamic and fun addition to the room... a really bold statement for a small time and money investment.

I am loving this magnetic paint!  Have you used it before in a fun way?  Let me know in the comments!
