Thanksgiving Cornucopia Magnet Craft

By Joanna Young

Your preschooler will find this little Thanksgiving Cornucopia Magnet Craft as cute as it is easy to make. Although an adult will need to apply the hot glue to the craft magnet, your preschooler will be able to do the rest. Once finished, s/he will beam with pride when seeing his/her handmade Thanksgiving magnet being put to good use on the refrigerator.

Materials You Will Need

Sheet of brown construction paper
Newspaper grocery ads
Tape
School glue
Scissors
Hot glue
Pencil
Cereal bowl
Craft magnet

How to Make It

Step 1:

Trace a circle onto the brown construction paper with the cereal bowl. Draw a straight line from the edge to the center (radius) of the bowl. Cut on the line.

Step 2:

Form the circle into a cone. Tape the seam together.

Step 3:

Go through your newspaper grocery ads and cut out pictures of produce: fruits and vegetables.

Step 4:

Glue the newspaper fruit and vegetable cut-outs to the inside of the cornucopia so that it looks like the food is spilling out. Allow the glue to dry.

Step 5:

Have an adult apply a drop of hot glue to the magnet (or use adhesive-backed craft magnets). Place the magnet on the back of the cornucopia (the taped seam).

Hang the Thanksgiving Cornucopia Magnet to the refrigerator to hold a recipe, grocery list or your preschooler’s beautiful Thanksgiving drawings!
