I thought I'd share the marble magnets that my son and I made for his teacher as an end of the year "thanks for being such a great teacher" gift. Fortunately she has a magnetic whiteboard instead of a traditional chalkboard in the room so it will be useful as well as something to remember my son by.

I gave my son some bristol board, my cherished box of Sharpies in all colors and told him to fill up as much of the page as possible and use as many colors as he could and make small patterns.

Then I made his artwork into the magnets...


...and then made a box for them out of scrapbooking cardstock...

...and here are the "leftovers" we had:


I hope she'll like them.
