My friend Sharon gave me these awesome print outs of how to do animal walks with children.  This one pictured is the path of a dolphin.  I was trying to think of ways to use them in a game and I came up with magnet tracers!  I put the animal paths on a piece of heavy card stock so that a child could hold and manipulate the image with one hand while tracing under the image with a magnet. Another magnet goes on top, which will follow the design.  I glued spools to the magnets to be used under the picture so that tiny hands can grasp them better.  I also glued colored foam dots to the top magnets for added visibility.  I remember doing this activity with my grandma as a kid, her magnets had tiny deer on them!
