Quick Clip Art Magnets for kids

November 18th, 2007 No Comments   Posted in Craft Ideas Using Clip Art

 Kids will soon be on vacation and waiting for the snow to arrive. With a house full of guests and lots of cooking in the kitchen, quick magnets will keep the kids entertained in another room :)  Any office supply store will have business card magnets available, this doesmagnetn’t mean the magnets you make need to be square. A little clip art and a lot of imagination will go a long way!

You will need:

  • Business card magnets
  • Tacky craft glue (glue dots work great)
  • Downloaded clip art
  • Spray starch
  • Markers or puffy paint
  • Paper plates

Directions:

  1. Have the clip art cut out and available
  2. The idea is to create a scene or use characters to glue on to the magnet
  3. The children can use the markers and paint to enhance their clip art
  4. The clip art can easily stick over the edges of the magnet as long as they are glued to the magnet at some point
  5. Once everything is dry including the glue and paint or markers have an adult spray the starch on the magnets evenly from a distance of 6-8 inches away to stiffen them up.
