Bird Magnets

Materials:
Cut-out parts from old corrugated cardboard box
Magnet strips or old magnets that can be glued to the back (cut into large squares)
Crazy glue or strong craft glue
Paint and paintbrushes

Children will paint their two pieces in any way they want. Remind them to put in an eye. When the paint has dried, glue the wing onto the body so that it is either flying or sitting.

Let the wing dry on and then glue the magnet on the back. It's ready to take home and show mama!

=========
This is a nice craft for Spring themes and even very small children can do it and enjoy it.

You can make other simple cut-outs like a flower with a middle or a face.
