Here is what you will need:

Coloring books (featuring straightforward designs such as flowers, animals, cartoon characters, etc)
Child protection Scissors
All Purpose White Tacky Glue
Wiggle Eyes
Beads, Buttons, Sequins, Feathers and other miscellaneous crafting trinkets
Foam Sheets (buy 1 of each dissimilar color to match your designs)
Magnets
Fine Tip Black Sharpie Marker

For the task that I made with my nephews, we excellent a coloring book that had animal pictures in it for preschool aged children. You will want to cut out the pattern by cutting close (but not on) the shape shape.

We excellent the following animals: frog, pig, monkey, cow, puppy and a lamb).

For the purpose of this project, I will refer to the cow refrigerator magnet that we made.

Select a sheet of foam to match the color of your animal, in this case, a white piece of foam. Trace nearby the pattern by placing the reverse side of the pattern down onto the foam sheet. Once you have it traced, use the scissors to cut the shape out by cutting on your traced line.

We then took a scrap piece of peach colored foam and made a nose for our cow and glued it into place. Above the nose, glue on 2 wiggle eyes. Take the black fine tip Sharpie marker and draw black 'cow' spots on the cows body and head. We also used the marker to color in the cows tail and hooves. To halt off your cow, glue a 2" piece of magnet onto the back and let dry.

Try to be creative when adding accents to your magnets, you can use feathers, beads, buttons, sequins, charms, ribbons and other left-over small trinkets from other craft projects.
