Emoticon Magnets
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Here's a fun gift idea for a computer buff: turn those symbols that express feeling in cyberspace into funny-faced refrigerator magnets.

- Colored markers
- Scissors
- Clear, flat decorative gems (available at craft stores)
- Glue
- Small, round self-adhesive magnets

- Instructions
-
-
Use a computer to create a variety of emoticons slightly smaller than the gems. Leave plenty of space between them. Print them out.
-
Use the markers to decorate and color the different faces. Then cut out the faces, trimming them into ovals or circles slightly smaller than the gems.
-
Glue each cutout (facedown) to the back of a glass pebble and then affix a magnet. Make sure the glue dries completely before you wrap the magnets as a gift.
-
- Tips:
- The magnets shown here were made with some of the more familiar emoticons, or "smileys." Encourage your child to see what other expressions she can create.
