Wondering what to do with some of your old baking sheets that are no longer suitable for making cookies? Check out this fun Christmas craft of transforming an old cookie sheet into an interactive and festive Christmas-themed magnetic tray for the holidays.

Cookie sheet Christmas craft decorated with a tree and ornaments.

As I gathered my baking supplies for the holidays I noticed it was time to replace my old cookie sheets. And not wanting to just through the old sheets away, I started to think of ways to creatively repurpose them. Inspired by this magnetic board my sister made for her craft room using an old cookie sheet, I thought to make a magnetic tray for Christmas.

My thought was to place the tray on the table for the kids to play with when we’re all gathered around for lunches and dinners. I found some laser cut wooden decorations to use as magnets for the tray so it appears as though thetree is being decorated with ornaments.
