This can also be a learning activity for little ones. Use shapes whenever you can. For the bird, cut hearts to use as the wings.

TIP: Careful not too use to much glue. It can get messy.

You can glue wiggly eyes all over the place if you want! Just make sure your bug isn’t to heavy for your magnet!

To create a butterfly, you can glue a colored (or even glittered) toilet paper roll (or pompoms) onto the center of two hearts!

TIP: Use old leftover magnets (from the phone book) instead of buying them!

Cut smaller squares or rectangles (learning shapes) out of the magnets to use on the back of your bugs. Be sure you mix it up – make whatever critter you want.
