Color Your Own Magnet: Why Kids Love Our Coloring Kits

Magnets kids color themselves, then take home and stick on the fridge. Here's everything about our Kids Coloring Kits — the characters, the two kit types, and where they work best.

By MagnetizeUS Team

There's a specific kind of chaos that happens at the craft table when kids are given something blank and told to make it theirs. Markers fly. Colors clash. Purple dinosaurs get hot-pink polka dots. And at the end of it — even if the outcome looks nothing like the sample — every kid holds up what they made and beams.

That's the idea behind the Kids Coloring Kit. A magnet they design themselves, that goes home with them, and that ends up on the fridge where they see it every single day.

What Is a Kids Coloring Kit?

A Kids Coloring Kit is a set of black-and-white line-art magnets that kids color in using washable markers. We print the outlines — a dinosaur, a unicorn, a mermaid, a puppy, whatever character they pick — directly onto magnet material. Kids color the image however they like, and the finished magnet goes straight onto any fridge or locker door.

No drying time. No glue. No assembly required. Just color and stick.

Two Kits, Two Experiences

We offer two versions of the kit depending on what kind of moment you're creating.

The Magnet Bundle Kit ($12.99 + shipping) includes 3 individual magnets and 6 washable markers. Each magnet features a different design from the same character — so a dinosaur fan gets three different dino poses to color. Kids can color one now, one later, and save one. Or go all in and color all three at once.

The Mosaic Coloring Kit ($39.99, free shipping) is the big-canvas experience. One image — like a Tyrannosaurus rex mid-roar, or a mermaid surrounded by fish — is split across a 3×3 puzzle of 9 magnets. Kids color the full scene one piece at a time, then arrange the puzzle on the fridge to reveal the complete picture. It's an activity and a keepsake in one.

The Characters

We have ten characters to choose from — each one drawn in a clean coloring-book style with bold outlines that are easy for little hands to stay inside (or go wildly outside, if that's more their style):

  • Cute Dinosaur — the crowd favorite, especially for kids ages 3–7
  • Unicorn — classic for a reason
  • Puppy — best for dog-obsessed kids
  • Kitten — same energy, different ears
  • Dragon — for kids who prefer their animals fire-breathing
  • Mermaid — scales, tail fins, the whole thing
  • Superhero — pick a color scheme and become the hero
  • Princess — crown, gown, ready to rule
  • Rocket Ship — for the future astronaut in the group
  • Butterfly — wings designed for maximum color experimentation

Can't find the right character? The Custom Upload option lets you send a photo — a pet, a child's drawing, a beloved cartoon character — and we convert it to a coloring-book style outline. Your kid gets to color in a magnet of their own dog.

Where These Work Best

Kids Coloring Kits show up in a lot of different settings. A few of the most popular:

Birthday party favor bags. Instead of the standard bag of candy nobody eats and plastic toys that break by the car ride home, drop a Magnet Bundle Kit in each bag. Parents genuinely thank you. Kids actually use them.

Craft show activity tables. We work with a lot of vendors at craft shows and markets. A coloring activity table draws kids over first — and then parents follow. The Mosaic Kit in particular keeps kids busy long enough for a real conversation.

Rainy day activity. It takes about 20–30 minutes to color a bundle kit properly, which is exactly the kind of screen-free activity parents are looking for. The finished magnet goes on the fridge and marks the afternoon.

School and classroom events. End-of-year parties, holiday celebrations, and classroom craft days. Teachers love that it's a contained, low-mess activity with a finished product kids are proud of.

The Washable Markers Matter

Every kit ships with washable markers specifically chosen for magnet material. They layer well, dry fast on the surface, and wipe clean off hands and most fabrics. The magnets themselves are waterproof — which means if a kid scribbles outside the lines, the mess is on the kid, not the magnet.

How to Order

Ordering is straightforward. Head to the Kids Kits page, choose your kit type (bundle or mosaic), pick a character, and select your designs if you're doing the bundle. For bulk orders — birthday parties, classroom events, craft show stock — reach out directly and we'll set you up.

Bundle kits ship in 2–3 days. Mosaic kits are 2–3 days as well, with free shipping on the mosaic.
