Summer Pond- Dragon Fly- Part II

To the pond, Colton added a dragonfly. I do not know what it is about dragonflies, but both my boys love them.


We used a large craft stick, markers, construction paper, glue, scissors,wiggly eyes and chenille stem.


Color the craft stick with markers or paint.
Cut out the wings. Twist on chenille stem for the antenna. Glue on wiggly eyes.
Decorate and glue on the wings. Glitter would look good on the wings too.

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.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. 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 ...
