Conner wanted to help make some goodies for Abby's party. We got busy with Model Magic. I haven't used it often, but with it's magical drying abilities, I figured it work out well for this project.
So much great fine motor work for him - rolling the balls, smooshing them together. We made 22!
Then we left them out overnight to dry.
After they were dry, I glued magnets to the back. Then we paired up a bunch of google eyes out of our stash, and glued the ladybug's eyes on. It dawned on me then - I wonder what would have happened if I had stuck the eyes in before the Model Magic dried. Has anyone else tried something like that? Next project I'll find out! I also used a Sharpie to draw a line down the middle. If I had been doing this project myself, obviously the dots would have been a little more consistently sized & placed. But with Conner helping, each ladybug has "personality".
At the party, they'll be parading on the refrigerator, and everybody will get to pick their favorite to take home.
