Fun with Magnets

Do you have a special memory?
Maybe it was a ticket to a special place, arcade coupons,
a photo on a postcard, an airline luggage tag or a small seashell.
Here is a way to keep the wonderful memory fresh.

Materials:
The Special Item (see below)
Glue and possibly Clear Tape
Scissors (only to be used with the supervision of a grown-up)
Magnet Tape
Cardboard
Optional: clothespins and clay

If you are using a paper item such as a ticket or tag, photo or postcard,
glue it to cardboard and then cut out the final shape. When it is dry, take the item and attach the magnet to the back.

For items like a shell or stone, just add the magnet to the back.
You can use the magnets to decorate a locker or for special notes on your fridge.

As an alternate idea, you can make Clothespin Clips following the same directions as above, but just substituting the magnet for a clothespin (however, you can still add a magnet to the back). Use the decorated clothes pin to hold papers together on your desk.

Be creative! You can use your favorite air-dry clay to make a fun shape. Then either paint the dried clay or color with markers. Finally, add a magnet, or glue to a clothes pin.
