Clay Fingerprint Magnets: A Sentimental Gift for Couples Who Are Parents<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents know how precious little moments with their children are, and this gift idea perfectly combines love and memories. Start by rolling out some air-dry clay and pressing the fingerprints of your child (or even your own and your partner\u2019s) into the surface. Shape the clay into hearts, circles, or any design that speaks to you. After the clay dries, paint it in Valentine\u2019s colours like red, pink, or gold, then attach a magnetic disc to the back. These sentimental magnets aren\u2019t just practical; they\u2019re a daily reminder of the love you\u2019ve built together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Magnets to use:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/product\/15mm-dia-x-2mm-thick-n42-neodymium-magnet-22kg-pull-19398\" title=\"\">15mm dia x 2mm thick N35 Neodymium Magnet &#8211; 1.8kg Pull<br><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"443\" data-id=\"12067\" src=\"https:\/\/first4magnets.tqt.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/15mm-dia-x-2mm-thick-n35-neodymium-magnet-1-8kg-pull-p6221-23104_medium-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/15mm-dia-x-2mm-thick-n35-neodymium-magnet-1-8kg-pull-p6221-23104_medium-edited.jpg 665w, https:\/\/www.first4magnets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/15mm-dia-x-2mm-thick-n35-neodymium-magnet-1-8kg-pull-p6221-23104_medium-edited-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 27%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2.
