This magical magnetic creation is made using Dani Mogstad’s “Take Me Away” vacation kit (digital):
The other supplies needed are magnetic tape, scissors, a magnetic tin (mine is recycled), and sand:
I made a fun label and printed my sandcastle sections and decorations. Then I stuck them to the magnet strip and cut around. I also glued some real sand onto the castle pieces. I got a big bag at Walmart for $3 and used the rest in a tub for more sandcastle building. When I had a nice size collection of pieces I put them in the tin.
Here are a few photos to get an idea of how big the tin is:
Wow, Katey was being a ham:
The kit was then ready to be assembled as desired.
Here’s just one of many possibilities:
Here’s to a summer filled with sandcastle building (real and magnetic)!
