Foam Fridge Magnet





I was thinking of a craft for the children and since I have some foam in the cupboard, I thought I would use them.


So, here's a craft with foam, magnet, color pen and glittering glue stick. It's rather simple.


1) Trace your child's hand onto the foam and cut it out.

2) Stick the cut out hand shaped foam onto foam of another color and cut according to the shape leaving a space so that we can see the double layer effect.

3) Punch or cut some smaller shapes (any shapes) and glue them onto the hand shaped foam. You can use stickers if you like.

4) Write words using color pen or glittering glue stick. If your child can't write, cut out alphabets from magazines or foam and stick on it.

5) Glue magnet behind and your fridge magnet is done.


"Love brings us together" and "I'll lend you my hand" are two quotes I rather like and this would be a great gift for parents. Imagine your child telling you "I'll lend you my hand" and when you put this up on the fridge, it reminds your child of his or her promise that he or she would help you whenever possible.
