DIY Wooden Animal Magnets (24 Pack)

DIY Wooden Animal Magnets turn simple unfinished wood shapes into colorful creations kids can proudly put on display. This 24-pack includes assorted animal-shaped wooden pieces ready to paint and personalize, plus magnets for turning finished designs into functional decorations for refrigerators, lockers, magnetic whiteboards, filing cabinets, and other magnetic surfaces.

Create It, Decorate It & Stick It Up

Kids get to start with unfinished wooden animal shapes and decide exactly how each one should look. Paint animals with realistic colors, turn them into rainbow creatures, add patterns and funny faces, or personalize them with names and other decorative details.

Once decorated, add the included magnets and the artwork becomes something useful instead of another project that gets tucked away. Finished wooden magnets are a fun way to display photos, notes, reminders, schoolwork, and kids’ artwork on magnetic surfaces. Wooden animal magnets are commonly used on refrigerators, lockers, magnetic boards, and filing cabinets, making this a craft with a practical payoff.

With assorted animal designs, every participant can create something different. The variety also opens the door to animal-themed lessons, nature activities, classroom units, camp projects, and creative group crafting.
