verse of the week

This project is abit of an Ikea hack.  This brown chalkboard was bought for our condo years ago from Ikea and I pulled it out from the closet and decided I could revamp it for the playroom.  I painted it white and decided to make it our VERSE OF THE WEEK board.  I've seen some really nice ones on Etsy.  

For Oliver's 4th Birthday in May, I did a safari themed party.  I bought dollar store animals and spray painted them gold.  Not wanting the kids to play with painted animals I had Trevor cut them in half and glued a magnet on the back.  It only worked for the small ones because the large ones were hollow.  Perfect little magnets for our magnetic chalkboard.
