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.
