TIP: When working with these neodymium magnets here are a few things to remember:
- Be careful. They're very strong magnets.
- When adding magnets make sure not to place two drying products right next to each other, they will snap together (then you have to pull the gluey magnets apart and it can create a mess)
- I recommend adult supervision with kids under 12

Bottle Cap Sets
Bottle cap letter sets require an extra step of gluing the image inside but they are still super easy, especially if you have the round punch, then cutting out the images is a speedy process! The alphabet image sheets include multiples of each letter and sometimes include symbols, add vowels to equal an even number of magnets and bottle caps.Add inspirational phrases to your fridge.
