Craft: Solar Eclipse Magnet
This week's craft is pictured at left.  The children glued yellow tissue paper squares to cover a cd-rom.  They then glued on yellow paper strips for sun rays.  They then glued on a black circle "moon" to make a total solar eclipse.  A sticker magnet was attached to the back.  They could write on the "moon" with a white crayon if they liked.
