Mr. Bones {Magnetic Skeleton for Kids}

October 14, 2013 8 Comments Holly & Nat

I am having way too much fun with my Halloween Chalk Art this year! If you missed my last post, check out how I made a huge Halloween burlap wall hanging for my living room. I also ordered a 3′ x 4′ engineering print of the skeleton, and couldn’t wait to make it into something special for my kids… Mr. Bones:

I took a large magnet board and trimmed my print to fit inside the frame, then just used double-stick tape to apply it to the metal magnet board. That way, it is perfect for a seasonal decoration and I can remove it after Halloween. This is how it looked when the print was first attached… I had a helper/model to show how HUGE it is!

I let my kids pick out what they wanted for the accessories to “dress up” Mr. Bones. I used all kinds of materials from my craft stash, and attached magnets to the back of each accessory with hot glue.

The magnetic letters were leftover from another magnet board project from the past. My 6-year-old had a blast spelling different words and nicknames for Mr. Bones.

Here are some of my favorite accessories:
You can’t have a proper Halloween party without a party hat, some beads and a little bling! My daughter wanted to make Mr. Bones into a MRS. Bones, so we added a bow and some jewelry for her. This kept her entertained for almost an hour {which is an eternity for a 3-year-old!}
I think we have a new Halloween tradition!
If you want to see all of the other prints available for download in this Halloween Chalk Art bundle, visit the Caravan Shoppe. {You get 3 designs for $5!} I got all of my prints done at Staples for $7 or less. Here are some other projects I have done so far:
Halloween Burlap Wall Hanging
Halloween Mantel
Do you have any fun Halloween traditions for your kids?

    Oh my goodness. I thought this was so cute when I thought it was just a chalkboard skeleton… but you can dress it up with magnetic jewelry… TOO MUCH! Love this, so creative. Thanks for sharing with us.
