Big Bright Bugs
Kids are naturally curious about bugs. Count insect wings or legs, and then capture the iridescent colors!
1. On the back of a paper plate, use Crayola® Crayons to draw the outline of a big bug. Make sure the bug's body is in the center of the plate and the legs extend all the way out to the edges of the plate.
2. Use either Crayola Crayons or Crayola Washable Markers to color in the bug. Remember the patterns and bright color combinations that you see in nature.
3. Cut out your bright and beautiful bug. Fold the legs under its body. Your bug can stand up and watch as you create more bug playmates or enough for an insect invasion.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
