Ladybug Egg Carton Craft!
A great craft that recycles an old egg carton! When you are done you have a little pet ladybug! My daughter named this one Lilly! Just cut an egg cup off an egg carton. Paint it red. Wait for paint to dry. Then add a black pom-pom for the head (mine had wiggly eyes too). Then use black paint to stamp on the dots. Of course ours sparkles…. as soon as you paint the dots, add some glitter to make your dots sparkle. Ta-da, you have a new pet! |
Bee Craft Coming! Fingerbees!!! I wrote a poem and made a little sheet as seen below (sorry about the toes in the picture) for you to use with this craft!
|
| Leo the Lighting Bug Craft! I
love the story Leo the Lightning Bug! After Reading this Story complete a Firefly craft like the one here ----> We
used bandaids for the body. Added glow in the dark puffy
paint so that I
wrote a little poem that can be attached to this craft |
