Total Time 1 to 2 hours
Ages all-ages
Here's a practical way to show off small collectibles such as plastic critters, beads, or shells.
What you'll need
- Several 3-inch round storage tins with tight-fitting lids (found at Michael's in the scrapbooking section)
- Gorilla Glue
- 3/4-inch round magnet
- Pizza pan
- Two 1 1/2-inch screws
- Two 1/2-inch washers
- Power drill
How to make it
Use the Gorilla Glue to attach the round magnet to the bottom of each container. Let it dry.
Hang the pizza pan on a wall at a height your child can reach. We suggest drilling into a wall stud. If your pizza pan has only one hole to slip a screw through, simply drill another (drill front to back).
Finally, have your child fill the tins and arrange them on the pizza pan frame.
