These cute critters can made in a variety of animal types. The first thing you will need to do is decide what type of animal you want to do-bunnies, cats, dogs, elephants, pigs, cows, etc.
What you will need:
- Plastic lids any size
- Felt in various colors
- Glue
- Magnetic strips
- Wiggle eyes (optional)
- Fabric paint or markers
Instructions for the project:
The first step is to make sure the lid you are working with is very clean. Once you know what type of animal you want to make cut a piece of felt to cover inside of lid. For example, for a dog you could use brown felt. It is important to make sure you glue the felt on the inside of the lid because the magnetic will go on the outside of the lid. (Keep in mind that hot glue works faster but if children are younger use white glue it just takes longer to dry). After the face is glued you can cut felt pieces for ears, nose, etc. For the eyes you can either use felt or wiggle eyes. Glue on all facial features. You also can paint on features with fabric paint or uses markers that will write on felt. Once it is completely dry you can put the magnet on back.
