The IKEA Magnet Wall Idea That Adds An Educational Component To Your Playroom
Letting your imagination and creativity run completely wild can sometimes be too much, but not when it comes to creating the perfect playroom! This IKEA magnet wall idea adds both a new spot to play and an educational component to any playroom. The best part is it will keep the kids' magnets away from kitchen appliances that can easily scratch, and you can strategically place it to hide unsightly wall scuffs (or rogue crayon marks).
Head to your local IKEA for the SVENSÅS memo board, which retails for around $14 and comes in both white and black. If you want a little extra bang for your buck, go for the black one as it can double as a chalkboard. Use some command strips to attach the memo board to the wall, and make sure you place it at a level where your child can reach it. The command strips will allow you to easily adjust as they grow. Get a few extra boards to add additional space for your child to learn. Finally, add lots of fun magnets!
It grows with you
This memo board will be a great investment for your house that will grow with your child. Add animal magnets (like this set for under $10 from Amazon) and shape magnets (like this set, also for under $10 on Amazon) for toddlers. Pre-K students can start to learn letters and numbers with the magnets. This 135-piece kit from Amazon has both letters and numbers for just under $30. The kit includes multiples of the same letter so that when your child starts learning to read, they can use the board to practice spelling too!
There are many creative ways to transform your child's playroom once they have outgrown it, and this DIY is no different. This memo board will be a great addition to your teen's bedroom to keep them organized or as an inspiration/mood board. Use magnets to hang a chore list or photos with friends and family. You can even display magnets that you collect if you travel. When your kid is ready to move on, this magnet board will be great for their first apartment or new dorm room. Whether this is your first child or your last, this budget-friendly IKEA magnet wall is a must-have update to their playroom.
