Animal Fingerprint Magnets
In this activity, children will learn to draw small funny animals and insects using fingerprint stamps created with ink pads. Once the small animals are made, we will show you a technique to transform them into magnets using glass pebbles.
A creative, easy, and fun activity that will yield lots of pretty colored magnets to decorate the fridge!

Step 4
Apply a generous layer of glue varnish on the flat part of a glass pebble.
