Magnets are fun to collect because they come in a variety of sizes, are inexpensive and easy to find. You can collect them from specific places such as Disneyland and the Grand Canyon; or you can select a theme. Read on to learn more.

Instructions

1. Decide what you would like to collect. Perhaps your co-workers or others have already started your collection by bringing you magnets from their trips.

2. Buy magnets when traveling. This is always a fun way to remember your vacation. Pictures are nice; but magnets keep your memories alive.

3. Swap refrigerator magnets. There are clubs--one is in the resource section--where you can swap magnets. This will help you make your magnet collection seem larger than it is.

4. Collect different shaped magnets. You can find round magnets, square magnets, oval magnets and even 3-D magnets.

5. Use your magnets to hold up timely cards, papers, posters and artwork that you need today but not necessarily tomorrow--such as an invitation to a party.

6. Purchase a magnetic chalkboard to display those magnets that won't fit on your refrigerator. Another way to display your magnets is on a metal cabinet in your office.
