Learn how to use the Dot It with Magnets Unicorns & Princesses set step by step. This mess-free magnet art activity builds fine motor skills and imagination for ages 3-7.

Quick answer

Use the Dot It with Magnets Unicorns & Princesses set to create 5 themed pictures by placing magnetic dots on the boards, then design your own on the blank board.

Why this set works for ages 3-7

The magnetic dots are large enough for small hands to grip and place, reducing frustration. The themed boards provide clear guidance, while the blank board encourages open-ended creativity.

Because there is no glue, paint, or loose pieces, cleanup is minimal and the activity stays mess-free. This makes it ideal for car rides, waiting rooms, or quiet time at home.

How to play with Dot It with Magnets Unicorns & Princesses

  1. Choose a picture board: Pick one of the 5 themed boards (unicorn, princess, castle, etc.) or the blank board for free creation. Place it on a flat, magnetic surface if available. Check that the board lies flat – a curved surface can make dots slide off.
  2. Sort the magnetic dots by color: Use the inspiration guide to see which colors you need. Grouping dots by color helps your child focus and reduces search time during placement. If your child is new to sorting, start with just 2-3 colors to avoid overwhelm.
  3. Place dots on the board: Press each magnetic dot onto the corresponding circle on the board. The dots stick firmly but can be repositioned easily if placed incorrectly. Remind your child not to press too hard – a gentle press is enough; hard pressing can make dots harder to remove.
  4. Complete the picture and display it: Fill all circles to reveal the full design. The finished picture can be displayed on a fridge or magnetic board. To reuse, simply remove the dots and store them in the included bag. Store dots in a sealed bag or container to prevent loss – loose dots are easy to misplace.
  5. Create your own design on the blank board: Use the blank board and leftover dots to make original pictures. The inspiration guide offers starting ideas, but encourage your child to imagine freely. If the blank board feels too open, draw a simple outline with a dry-erase marker first, then fill with dots.
