Kids Kreate

This fun and easy craft is perfect for a circus theme. You could also use it with a Noah's Ark or creation theme as well. Make them as a group and sell them at a craft fair too.

Animal Cracker Pins

Ingredients:

Box of Animal Crackers (not iced)

clear nail polish or varnish

flat-backed small gold pins

craft glue or a glue gun. Do NOT use Elmer's glue. It will not hold.

Description:

Have your child choose an animal cracker they like. Polish both sides with clear nail polish or varnish (BE SURE TO DO THIS OUTSIDE OR IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA!). Once completely dry, glue one pin to the back; again let dry completely. That's all there is to it. A fast, fun and cute lapel pin for your kids to wear. Make sure that children do not put these in their mouths.
