This was a labour of love. From start to finish, it took 2 solid days of cutting and folding ! My daughter Katherine even helped with some of the assembly (thank you Katherine!) .
He did seem to like it though. :-)

Super Mario Magnet Board
Yesterday was my son's birthday so 3 days ago I decided to make him a card. He loves Rubik's cubes so I thought that I would make him a Rubik's cube card. My online searching brought me to this really cool and completely functional paper cube. That is so much cooler than a card I thought! So I set about printing and cutting the 3000 (lol) pieces. At some point (about 1/2 way through) I decided to take a break and stumbled upon this Super Mario magnet board. WOW, I thought. That looks super cool ! It's a magnetic board with movable magnets! My girls confirmed that indeed it was super cool and so I set to work.
The boxes are made of printed cardstock and each one has a magnet. Behind the background is metal so that the magnets will stick.
This is another shot just to show that the magnetic boxes move. Each magnet box is about 1 1/2" square.
