Bottlecap Magnets

Here is a project perfect for a wide range of ages...preschoolers will love the simplicity with beautiful results, while older children can get as detailed and creative as they desire.

 

Fill some bowls, divided container, or muffin tin with the supplies needed. 

You'll need some unbent bottlecaps, circular magnets, and an assortment of beads, sequins, stickers, pictures, or other small items.

 I chose to use glossy Mod Podge for this project because it dries clear.

 Spread a layer of Mod Podge in the bottom of each bottle cap.

The older children can do this themselves, but for preschoolers, it is a good idea to do it for them.

 Let them drop in whatever items they want. 

Older children may take the time to make special designs or scenes.

 Set the bottlecaps aside until they are dry.

 Then, put on another coat of Mod Podge to seal in and protect the decorations.

 Attach circular magnets to the back.

 Wrap them up for gifts by putting them in jewelry boxes. 

See, how they shine like jewels?

Putting them in the boxes and sticking on the bows are all things your preschooler can do.
