4 Fridge Magnet : d e d e e n s ie l p p u S • Bottle caps (try not to bend them when you remove them from the bottle) • 1/2 inch strong button magnets • Very strong glue
By Shamama Shabbir
Instructions: These cool bottle cap magnets can be made easily with the bottle caps from your favourite drink bottles! Start by saving your favourite bottle caps. If you need a bottle opener, take your time so you don’t bend the cap. You can make the magnets just by gluing the button magnets to the back of the bottle caps. The magnet is very strong, so it is important to use very strong glue or else the bottle cap will come off when you try to remove the magnet from a metal surface. If you are using a plastic cap fill the cavity with the clay, press the Plaster of Paris inside; allowing it to dry; than glue the magnet while the clay is fresh. To decorate the top side of the magnet you can stick your favourite stickers, formic sheets or you could even paint something yourself.
Cereal Rainbow
Supplies needed: • Fruit Flavoured Circle Cereal (Such as Fruit Loops) • Paper Plate • Craft Glue • Scissors How to make it: • Separate all of the cereal by colour. Put each colour in a bowl. • Cut the paper plate in half so you have a half circle (one paper plate will make two rainbows). Follow the curve of the paper plate and glue the fruit cereal on it to form a rainbow. Let the glue dry.
Remember kids, always get permission from your parents before you start. It’s always a good idea to have a helper nearby.
