These are such a cute idea for an afternoon craft to do with the kids. They are easy to do and most of the craft can be done by the child themselves. It also can be used to show your child’s creativity.
Materials Needed:
10 Puff Beadz
8-inch-long styrene rod
Drill
2 ice-pop sticks
Fabric glue
Chenille stem, or pipe cleaner
2 seed beads
Instructions:
1. String 8 Puff Beadz onto the styrene rod.
2. Using a 1/16-inch drill bit, drill a hole near one end of each ice pop stick; slide a stick onto each end of the styrene rod.
3. To make the head and tail, slide another Puff Beadz onto each end of the rod; secure with dabs of glue.
4. Cut a 4-inch length of pipe cleaner for the inchworm’s antennae. Wrap the pipe cleaner once around the inchworm’s neck, between the head and the first pom-pom of the body. Twist pipe cleaner to secure; shape into antennae.
5. Make the eyes: Dab a bit of glue on each seed bead, and attach the beads to the inchworm’s head. Work quickly so that the glue doesn’t dry before you’ve attached the eyes.
