Boris the Cow Interactive Painting from Mia Canvas

Boris the Cow Interactive Painting from Mia Canvas

When I was a kid, I remember some of the paintings on the walls of our family home.  They were precious belongings to my parents, remembrances of travel and exotic places, and we weren’t allowed to touch them.  But there was something magical about all those thick layers of paint creating trees and lakes, and I wanted to touch them; if I could only reach…. 

Mia Canvas is a company that creates touchable art for your kids.  The interactive paintings are brightly colored canvases that are also magnetic.  Children can add to the painting by moving around the coordinating magnets, or by adding their own magnets.  We’ve been playing with a Mia Canvas painting of a cow in a field.  Ladybugs and leaves can be rearranged, and my son is able to add a few magnets of his own, sometimes attaching bits of his own artwork.  

Mia Canvas is giving away one Magnetic Interactive Painting ($59.95 retail) to a dkMommy Spot reader!  Here’s your chance to give artwork to your child that can actually be touched!

    The Tic Tac Toe one looks like fun!

  7. I love the Olivia and Sadie set, they’re so cute!

  8. The blue Family Tree canvas is great. It allows for much creative expression, as well as thought, at all age levels. I still, however, remain a great fan of the Waddlers:) I’m a subscriber…

  9. the tic tac toe game will save paper as it is played.

  10. Olivia and Sadie the waddlers is adorable! Kinda reminds me of my twins who waddle around while their curls bop on their head. My 6 year old likes them and likes the idea of all the magnets. He told me he could add his animal magnets and make a farm!

  11. I’m a reader subscriber

  12. I also like the pink family tree!

  13. I enjoyed looking around their website. I like the aqua sign.

  18. My daughter would have fun with the Tic Tac Toe canvas. That is the latest game she has learned to “play,” and by play I mean she fills all the squares with x’s or o’s and says, “I won again!” She’s three, okay….

  19. I learned that “each painting is coated with a special UV protectant that will help seal and guard the canvas for years to come.” macd82 at gmail dot com

  24. I’ve never heard of Mia’s website before. Very cool products. We love anything magnetic at my house. My daughter has a developmental disability and won’t play with most toys, but she’s fascinated with magnets and will play with them for an hour or more.

  25. I love the starry skys

  26. I think the barnyard collection is outstanding. The canvas shown is displayed with a blue (or pink) background. A variety of textile fabrics, a related object (cowbell, coil pig tail, etc) and a combination of spring time magnets is included for each of the animals in this collection. What a great piece of art for a little one.

  27. The Starry Skies collection is very cool–but I lik the Family Tree collection too! Can’t decide which is neater.

  28. Happy Friday!!!!!!!
