Things for Kids to Make

• Posters/bookmarks can be covered with clear shelving paper or laminating sheets available in office supply stores
• Refrigerator magnets can be made by covering stickers with clear shelving paper or laminate. Glue a small magnet to the back and you have a great magnet to share with others. This is a great way to recycle all those magnets that are on your refrigerator already!!
• Kids can share the posters/bookmarks/posters with senior groups, meals-on-wheels and child care centers to help spread the word - not the germs.
• Print out the stickers kids create on plain paper and glue them onto sticks/straws or velcro them onto a sock, and create your own Fight BAC!® puppet show for your friends and family.
