Magic Wands
Supplies Needed:
- Dowel rod
- Paint brush
- Paint
- Hot glue (if you didn’t receive a Take & Make kit)
Step 1
If you received a Take & Make kit, your dowel rod already has hot glue on one end to use as a handle for the wand.
If you did not receive a kit, add hot glue to make your wand’s handle. Let the glue dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2
Get your paint and paint brush ready. Decorate your wand however you would like. Once you are done painting, let it dry completely.
Step 3
Once your wand is dry, you are ready to put it to the test and try out your best spells!
Flying Keys
Supplies Needed:
- Paper wings
- Fishing line
- Key

Step 1
Place the fishing line, key and wings in front of you. First, you will tie the fishing line in a loop to the top part of the key.
Step 2
Attach the wings to the key using glue, tape or twisting it around the key.
Step 3
Hang your flying key in your favorite place to admire.
