Dragonflies

I love these cute dragonflies with the hand print wings. A teacher at my preschool made these, when I saw them I know we had to make them.
We used: Paper towel roll, construction paper, glue, scissors, pencil, wiggly eyes, and sequins.
Wrap the paper towel roll with construction paper, glue or tape it securely.
Trace the hand print and and cut it out. Decorate with sequins.
Glue on eyes, antennae and tail.


These are made with toilet paper rolls.

I just wanted to come out of lurking for a moment to let you know that I used your idea in my class today. I had planned to use the traditonal craft stick dragonfly idea before.

The kids loved it, as did the parents. I love all your wonderful ideas, thanks you for sharing them with the world!

Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
