Busy tin tried and tested




Thankfully I have been supplied with another metal tin.  This was fantastic as a few weeks ago we all went on a rather rainy camping holiday to Forest of Dean and I was looking for games to take which Little Boo could play.  

The idea for these funny faces came from another post that I have done which is very similar. I was trying to think how to make the idea portable so came up with magnetic funny faces. After a quick Google search for cartoon eyes and cartoon mouths I found ones that I liked put them onto a word document then printed them onto magnetic paper. Luckily the magnetic paper is currently in stock at the local poundland so was £1 for two sheets.  This makes this busy tin a very cheap idea.





This idea is so simple and Little Boo loved playing with them.  Sorry the image is bad we were in the tent!



Hope that this provides you all with some inspiration.  I have also considered using this at work as one of the units I teach is all about emotions the different faces could be made up to display the different emotions.

    This is such a clever idea! Love it! We've got loads of tins lying around so it's off to ebay for some magnetic sheets!
