Recycled Valentine Magnet
Projects the kids make from recycled materials like this Recycled Valentine Magnet are fun and help make the earth a better planet on which to live.
Trivia:Â The most common way that magnets are produced is by heating them to their Curie temperature or beyond. The Curie temperature is the temperature at which a ferromagnetic metals gains magnetic properties. Heating a ferromagnetic material to its given temperature will make it magnetic for a while. While heating it beyond this point can make the magnetism permanent.
Supplies

Show the kids how to use the lid from a Mayonnaise Jar that was red to set the theme for this Recycled Valentine Magnet.

Turn the lid over and glue a lining of gold beads around the inner rim for a little sparkle.
Using leftover red beads glue a heart in the middle of the lid.
