Science progress affects our daily life and "to know" means you are going to chose right, because it allows you to form your own opinion on scientific everyday issues. On the other hand, having an elegant and harmonious vision of the world where we live in leads to a feeling of intellectual satisfaction.
We believe this kind of scientific day to day knowledge should be encouraged from an early age, and that's why this project was born: science, culture, knowledge, crafts for your restless mind.

DIY Refrigerator magnets

Use broken wood cloth pins to do some crafts with your young restless children.

Make sure you have several other small objects around, like cloth pin's or small beads.

We need:

wood cloth pins,
buttons, paper clips, beans, etc,
hot glue, works best,
small magnets,
thick cardboard,
craft knife.

How to:

On the cardboard draw the outline you wish your magnet to have, we choose the letter M;
Use the craft knife to cut the cardboard; this must have adult supervision, In the example the cardboard is too small, its better if the cardboard is at least the size of the pin;
Use the small objects to decorate the magnet, attach them with hot glue, the white glue also works;
Let it dry;
Glue the cardboard to one of the pin's sides;
Glue the magnet on the other side;
Let it dry.

Et voilá!
