In the shop, I found a variety of nails, screws, and wire.
I collected paperclips, bobby pins, safety pins, and straight pins from the house.
Then, I cut up some colorful pipe cleaners.
I tossed them all together in a clean plastic bottle and glued the lid closed.
So far, Trip has not been super interested in using the magnet to make "monsters," but I think he will like it in the future. Some young friends who came over the other day enjoyed it, though.
It's fun to see how long of a string of little metal objects you can make. We have managed to make some pretty impressive ones!
How fun! Sounds like something even an adult (me!) would like to play with!
