00:00Here's a great spring-inspired craft, a butterfly magnet.

00:07It was so much fun and very simple to make.

00:10We used a clothespin, pipe cleaners, and colorful beads.

00:15First paint the clothespin, or better yet, let your child paint it.

00:19Then let your child put the beads on the pipe cleaners.

00:22My four-year-old loved this, and my one-year-old even gave it a try.

00:27It's also very good for their fine motor skills.

00:30Then fold the decorated pipe cleaners in the shape of wings, add some glue, and attach

00:36them to the clothespin.

00:38There you have it, a pretty butterfly.

00:41Glue a magnet to the back of the butterfly, and you have a fun refrigerator magnet or

00:45a great creative gift.
