Insect Projects

Kids and insects go hand in hand. Rare is the child that shies away from ants, ladybugs or spiders, as they are naturally curious about their world and all that inhabit it. What best way to draw on this spirit of adventure and curiosity than by completing an insect project!

The Butterfly mobile is unique in that it does not just highlight butterflies, but their life cycle as well. This adds someone else size to the child's learning. Items needed are several sheets of different colored building paper, a gift TAG, scissors, pencil, glue, string (or yarn), paper plate, markers, paint or crayons, and tape (or stapler).

The base of this scheme is the paper plate. Cut a spiral circle out of the plate, and then decorate it with the crayons, markers and/or paint. Using a piece of green paper cut out a leaf. This leaf represents the first sTAGe of the butterfly's life. The next step is to glue or tape "butterfly eggs" to the bottom of the leaf. Eggs can be created by small paper circles created by hole punches, or cut them yourself. Butterfly eggs can be white, green or yellow and are usually circular or oval. These should be clustered on the underside of the leaf.

Use someone else (perhaps darker) shade of green paper in the shape of a caterpillar. Decorate the caterpillar with the markers. Wiggle eyes can be used if desired.

Use a brown piece of paper to cut out a pupa (like a cocoon), decorate it.

Next generate the butterfly wings by folding a colorful piece of paper in half and cutting a heart shape (without the point) out of it. Make the body of the butterfly out of a darker color paper. Have fun decorating the butterfly wings.

Staple, tape or glue the string to the spiral paper plate and attach all of the butterfly's life's sTAGes!

Ocean Project

Unique arts & crafts projects are fun and curious for children, especially when sea life is incorporated. Cup of Fish is a fun, colorful scheme any child will enjoy, and they will be able to eat it, too!

For this scheme you'll need: blue jello, clear plastic cups, gummy Fish and an appetite. Make the jello as per the directions on the box; fill the cups to about halfway, store away in the refrigerator for about an hour (they need to set only partially). Put a few of the gummy Fish inside the jello before it has set completely. Perfect the setting process in the refrigerator, then enjoy! This can also be done with Popsicle molds, as well as a large punch bowl. An edible aquarium!

Holiday Project

Unique arts & crafts projects can be used for holidays and extra occasions as well. The Festive Napkin Ring can be used anytime there is a extra conferrence for family and friends. Items needed are felt, (one should be green and the other can be any color), scissors, and a pencil. generate a template for each piece required for the ring. One looks like a large dog bone, and the other two are four-petaled flowers, one small, one medium sized. Using the templates, trace colse to the felt then cut. Make a small slit in the flower shaped felt pieces only. The green felt should be used for the larger of the flower shaped pieces. Slip the green piece onto the bone piece, and then slip the other flower shape inside the green piece. This creates a blossomed flower effect. Slip the other end of the bone piece straight through the two flower pieces, completing the circle or ring. Grab a napkin, insert into the ring and you've got yourself a festive napkin holder!
