DIY Wooden Dinosaur Magnets (24 Pack)

DIY Wooden Dinosaur Magnets turn prehistoric favorites into colorful creations kids can paint, personalize, and proudly put on display. This 24-pack includes assorted unfinished wooden dinosaur shapes plus magnets, giving young artists everything they need to transform plain wood into one-of-a-kind decorations for refrigerators, lockers, magnetic whiteboards, filing cabinets, and other magnetic surfaces.

Bring Prehistoric Creatures Back to Life With Color

Kids start with unfinished wooden dinosaur shapes and get to decide exactly what their prehistoric world should look like. Paint dinosaurs in realistic earth tones, recreate favorite species, cover them in bright fantasy colors, or add spots, stripes, names, patterns, and imaginative details no paleontologist has ever seen.

The assorted dinosaur designs keep group activities interesting and make it easy to connect the craft with dinosaur lessons, prehistoric themes, science units, fossils, and imaginative storytelling. Wooden dinosaur activities can also encourage fine motor practice, creativity, and storytelling as kids handle and personalize the different shapes.

Once decorating is complete, add the included magnets and turn each dinosaur into a functional piece of artwork. Finished magnets can hold photos, notes, schoolwork, drawings, and reminders, or simply add a little Jurassic personality to magnetic surfaces.

Each wooden dinosaur measures 4". EconoCrafts recommends this craft for ages 4+ and Pre-K and up. With 24 pieces included, it is especially well suited to classrooms, camps, after-school programs, recreation centers, parties, and other group activities.

• Use fine-tip paint pens for eyes, outlines, claws, patterns, names, and other smaller details
• Encourage kids to mix realistic dinosaur colors with imaginative designs so everyone can approach the craft differently
• Allow paint and added embellishments to dry completely before attaching or using the magnet
