Insect Activities for Kids |
Undirected Craft time - make an insect:

- cardboard egg carton cups
- markers
- pom poms
- wiggly eyes
- felt and fun foam in various colors
and let her design her own 'bug'. This little guy is what she came up with (having the fun foam leaf as the base made it easier to assemble as she could glue all the pieces to that).
The egg carton cup is actually colored with marker, not painted.
Sometimes, it's fun to give a more 'artistic' craft time that allows them to design their own project instead of providing a directed craft.
