Souvenir magnets from sea pebbles

Great craft idea for kids! During this activity, you will kill two, even three birds with one stone: you will occupy the child, contribute to the development of his fine motor skills and imagination, and also make a good gift for your grandmother on her birthday or New Year. You can draw just about anything!

Consider how to make such cute magnets using monster faces as an example. It turns out to be very easy, the main thing is to stock up on the beach in the summer with suitable flat pebbles. You will also need acrylic paints with a brush, clear varnish (nail polish is fine), glue, magnets or magnetic tape, and eyes or material to create them.

If there is no store in your city that sells ready-made eyes (special hand-made and children's art stores), I recommend using old pills for this purpose (we make an eye from a blister pack, and a pupil from a dark or colored pill or just from black paper). You can, of course, draw the whole eye in the same way as everything else. So, what and in what sequence to do.1. Thoroughly wash the stones, let them dry and cover with two layers of paint to avoid transition of tones. We are waiting for the paint to dry.2. We glue eyes and draw teeth or just draw a face, and after that we open it with varnish. Let the product dry.

3. Glue a magnet or magnetic tape to the reverse side.

It turns out such a funny family!

In support of my words that you can draw any picture on the pebbles, I rummaged through the Internet and found more options for implementing this idea:
