After making the number magnets last week, I wanted to use the remaining magnets for another project! When my daughter and I were coloring one day, I got the idea to make symmetrical little magnet creatures that she could use for "matching." So, we made three of her favorite things: a ladybug, butterfly, and owl! After priming the magnet with white paint, I traced circles onto two of the magnets and drew and butterfly on the third. I painted and traced with a black permanent marker. After they dried, I lightly painted a clear coat on top! By cutting them down the middle, you instantly have your very own simple matching activity! So easy and tons of fun for little ones!
Very cute idea!
