Help! An Alligator Is On My Fridge!

Higgins made this at school and I love it. I normally hang their art work and papers on the fridge, but this one makes me smile every time I see it.

You will need:

• Clothespin 
• Green thin pipe cleaners
• 2 round white smooth beads
• Sharpie marker
• Green paint and a paint brush
• Hot glue
• Magnets Strips
• Optional: glitter glue

Directions:

1. Paint clothespin green and let dry.
2. Cut pipe cleaners into pieces for legs (about 3.5-4 inches).
3. String a pipe cleaner through the back spring to make the back legs and attach with a drop of glue.
4. Place second pipe cleaner in the second groove to make the front legs. Attach with glue.
5. Glue beads onto clothespin with smooth side facing front. You want it to be a little before the front legs.
6. Once glue has set, draw on pupils with marker.
7. If desired, add on some glitter glue spots.
8. Attach magnets (either with stick on magnets or with a thin line of hot glue).

Make it an alligator themed day by making the alligator magnets for a craft and alligator cupcakes and cookie pops for a snack!
