Think Spring Art

Photo Magnets

On March 17 tweens made photo magnets. I think they turned out really cool.

What you need: Clear, rounded with a smooth back, pebbles (we got them from Michael's, I'm not sure what they are called), hot glue, hot glue gun, decorative paper, pictures and round magnets.

Cut out the paper or picture to fit on the back of the pebble. Hot glue the picture to the pebble and then hot glue the magnet to the picture.

These would make fun homemade gifts.

Reading with Kaylee and Janessa

Janessa and Kaylee came to the library to read to younger kids. They only had one this time but they will be back to do it again.
