On a piece of cardboard, draw a bigger shape for the body of your bug.  It could be a circle, oval, rectangle, triangle, heart — whatever shape you would like.

Let’s make a bug!  As a base, you will need cardboard from a cereal box or a clean foam tray.

Play around with different combinations of eyes until you find something you like.   Don’t forget the center of your bug’s eyes!

The two halves will make the wings of your bug!

Colour your bug parts with colourful shapes and patterns.  Let your imagination run wild!  You are the maker of your bug.

Look in your bin for any recyclable materials and craft supplies if you have them.

You can use crayons, markers or pencil crayons to make a bug.  I use a black marker often when I craft.

On another piece of cardboard, draw an oval or a circle.  Draw a black line down the center of the shape.

Yarn, twine, string or ribbon can be useful to decorate your bug.

I use paint when making bug #1 to paint bubble wrap.  If you have paint, you can use it to paint part of your bug.  Paint is optional, you don’t have to use it! 

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/qfIerflgCdnFs-S1L3h9AFnvJ_Tvy9S0qm-M0uL_ZcI/books/lPDujGuITi-OihRRslAHZA/assets/CI_236EF256-7B23-4430-B6CE-3E95D3F31F3A.jpg?width=1030&height=770

If you have bubble or plastic wrap,  cut a square a little bigger than your bug body. 

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/qfIerflgCdnFs-S1L3h9AFnvJ_Tvy9S0qm-M0uL_ZcI/books/lPDujGuITi-OihRRslAHZA/assets/CI_45DC8411-5639-486C-B826-830E7E5C24F6.jpg?width=1030&height=770

Glue your painted piece to your bug body.

You will need some recycled white and/or coloured paper.

On a piece of cardboard, draw a circle as the head of your bug.

Use pipe cleaners, twist ties, wire or paper to make bug antennae.   Glue or tape the antennae to the back of your bug’s head. 

I decided to draw the center of my bug eyes.

You can use craft sticks, recycled straws, or twigs for your legs.  Glue legs together in a star shape.
