Explore the fascinating world of insects by turning leftover egg cartons into colorful caterpillars, buzzing bees and spotted ladybugs.
Materials:
Paper egg cartons
Craft acrylic paints
Pipe cleaners
Googly eyes
Paintbrushes
Scissors
Tacky glue/hot glue gun
Steps:
Begin by carefully cutting apart your egg carton. Cut individual egg cups or two or three cups together, depending on what type of bug you are going to make.
Paint the egg cup to match your desired bug. For example, use yellow for a bee, red for a ladybug or green for a caterpillar.
Once the base color is dry, you can attach googly eyes and pipe cleaners for the antenna and wings using the hot or tacky glue.
Finish your bug by adding small details such as spots or stripes.
