We had a fair few plastic spoons left over from my daughters birthday and I remembered a similar bug craft we have done in the past using bottle caps seen here.

Materials needed

  • Scissors
  • Sticky tape
  • Plastic spoons
  • Pipe cleaners (3 per bug)
  • Googly Eyes
  • Paper
  • Felt pens

My daughter thought they would make a great hair accessory too ;).

We also thought it would be fun to make a butterfly so we followed the same steps as above but added wings to the wrapped pipe cleaners using cardstock that my daughter had coloured in.

These would be perfect as a planned group activity in a school or playgroup setting, or it’s something fun and simple to do at home with the kids too.

    1. Hi Carolyn, I have edited our blog as per your instructions as we didn’t think of this activity until after your published dates. We had not seen your post prior to this message, we fully understand the vastness of the Internet and that many ideas are often replicated without the intent to do so. We always link back to original sources when we take inspiration from someone else’s work.
      Thank you. Louise :).
