Thanks everyone for the nice comments about my magnet I made. I always look for craft that my DS Caden can hello me with and I found this one which is so simple to do, they even used this to make Easter hats with flowers on the brim. All you do is Pre-Heat oven to 250* and place small styrofoam cups upside down on a cookie sheet and watch them shrink!!! It only takes about 3 mins so you have to watch them carefully. I would let the one for the Easter hats of course shrink a little more. Then after they are done to your satisfaction remove them from the oven and the will cool down almost instantly and will just pop right off the cookie sheet. You may need to adjust oven temp for dark or light cookie sheets. I did waste a few cups until I got the hang of it but after that it was so easy. Then you just paint the hat with craft paint and decorate how you wish it's such a fun craft to do with you kids. Caden helped paint the hat by the way I can't take all the credit! LOL Michelle
