These cute little bugs are made from small cooldrink bottles and apart from being fun to make, are a ball to play with too.
You will need:
Cooldrink bottle
Styrofoam ball for head
Pipe cleaner for feelers
Coloured foam for the wings
Glitter and sprinkles to decorate the wings
Google eyes
Glue
Paint
Method:
Assemble the bottles
Paint the ball head
Assemble your bottles.
Glue the styrofoam ball to the opening of the bottle.
Paint the ball for the head and glue the google eyes on. The kids can have fun painting this with a brush or you can just dip it in paint.
Wind the pipe cleaner around the bottle for the feelers. (As an extra you can put pom poms at the end for antennae)
Use the ellipse shape to trace the wings
Divide them in half for two wings
The wings can be an ellipse shape divided in half. You can trace the shape beforehand for the kids cut or cut it for them, depending on their age, on the coloured foam.
The cut out wings
Decorate the wings with glittery sprinkles
All kids will enjoy sprinkling various sparkly items onto the wings or drawing on them in glitter.
All you need to do now is glue on the wings, and there you have it, a cute little bug to play with.
