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.

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!

This is a great group project. Also ties in with creation or a lesson on Noah's ark easily. Use it with any animal unit study!
