How to make easy magnetic paper dolls for the refrigerator for cheap!


I love to cook but Ive started to babysit my nephew... trying to entertain him and cook at the same time can be a little hard for me because i like to keep him in sight.

while he was coloring today he wanted me to 'cut the guys out' and an idea popped into my head-
paper dolls with magnets attached! easy!

but where will i find magnets? -duh- (i looked at the fridge) yay! free magnets =]

now we'll put it all together...


-MATERIALS-

>coloring pages/ paper
>crayons/ markers (whatever you have on hand)
>scissors (kid-safe if your letting your kid do this on their own)
>magnet strip(s)
>tape or glue
>refrigerator =]  

-notes-
>i had all of these materials on hand but if you want/ need to buy them im sure you can find all of them at walmart (or equivalent) for less than $10.
>if you like to sew or want your fridge friends to last longer i found an instructable for this!-
