How To Make a Monkey Refrigerator Magnet
You Will Need
  • A sheet of plain white foam
  • A pencil
  • A pair of scissors
  • Some poster paint
  • A small paintbrush
  • A pair of googly eyes
  • A magnet about the size of a quarter
  • And some tacky glue
 
Steps
step 1Draw outline
Draw the outline of a monkey on the foam. The monkey should be bigger than the magnet but no larger than a postcard. Trace a picture from a book or magazine, or create your own monkey by drawing a circle for the stomach, a smaller circle for the mouth, and a small crescent shaped piece for a banana.
tip Keep the shape of your monkey simple or it will be hard to cut out.
step 2 Paint features
Use the poster paint to paint a nose, mouth, stomach, and other features on your monkey. Let the paint dry.
step 3Glue on eyes
Glue on the googly eyes to the monkey’s face with tacky glue.
step 4Cut out monkey
Cut out the monkey and pieces.
step 5Glue pieces
Glue the mouth, belly, and banana onto the monkey with tacky glue, and let it dry.
step 6Glue magnet
Glue the magnet onto the back of the monkey using a dot of tacky glue and let it dry.Now put your cheerful new pet to work holding up this week’s lunchroom menu.
