Building words - in the car or on the train!

Introduction
On our car and train rides, there was always one problem that led to anger and frustration: the activity jiggling or slipping out of postition. I found an ingenious solution on Pinterest. A metal box, magnetic letters and wooden craft sticks are nearly everything you need for this activity.

Things needed
- magnetic uppercase letters and lowercase letters
- Craft sticks
- Fineliner
- Magnetic Squares
- Lunchbox (please check if it is magnetic)

Steps
Put the magnetic letters into the box.
Label the wooden craft sticks with words and add a small depiction if you like.
Glue a magnetic platelet on the back side of every spatula - done!
No time to make your own?
