Here are three ways to create poetry using magnetic words.

Only use magnets with words, the fewer words the better. Move the magnets around and make the poem into any shape you want.
Purchase a magnetic poetry kit
Buying a magnetic word kit is another option. Here are some examples:
Shakespeare Kit (our personal favorite!)
Make your own magnets
Grab some magazines, newspapers, or even junk mail. Cut out the words you want then glue them onto magnets.
