What should be stuck to your fridge? - Year 2

The big task is to design a fridge magnet set that will appeal to young children. What's different about these fridge magnets is that each one is made from layers, which will add considerably to their attractiveness. The fridge magnet will be used to hold up a list of commonly mis-spelt words. Each table or group of children will produce one set of fridge magnets and within a group each child will make just one.
