Sometimes it is fun to do some crafts with the students. Usually I will do them the day before break or the last day of school. One of the students favorite is making these little magnets. I get the glass beads at the Dollar Tree, they are in the section with the flowers and vases. The magnets are from Hobby Lobby but they also have them at Wall-mart. You have to buy the big magnets.
Materials:
Glass Beads, flat on one side
Big Magnets
Stickers, paper, magazines
White Glue
Scissors
Pen

| Find a picture in a magazine, put a sticker on a piece of paper,or use a
neat pieces of paper. Trace the glass bead on the paper and cut out
your image. | | |
 |
| Put white glue on the flat side of the bead smear glue to cover surface with finger, Then lay picture face down on the glue. |
 |
| Cover back with glue and smear with finger, place magnet on top and you are done. Let dry over night. |

Wipe off bead with a damp rag if their is dried glue on top. I am going to make some using numbers for another teacher. She is going to use them in a math center. She is going to use old metal pans and the students are going to design their math problems and then let their partner solve it. I think this could also work for letters, I am going to try to use small beads. I will let you know how it turns out.
