Okay so I love stationery! I'll always pick up colour paper, glitter, glue (i've now accumulated about 10 sticks of glue - all hardened), ice cream sticks, googly eyes, paint, stickers... well you get the picture. This I've been doing for years now, long before my daughter was born.
Thanks to Mister Maker and Ms Tandon, I now use the stuff i buy. The other day we made some lovely colourful ice-cream stick bugs.
All we needed were some ice-cream sticks, paint, pipe cleaners (btw, you get pipe cleaners at Crosswords along with a lot of other fun crafty stuff), googly eyes, and some sticky tape (in the words of mister maker himself)
... Since we make most of the things we see on his show on Cbeebees, this most is dedicated to him.
Each ice-cream stick bug will need 1 ice-cream stick, 3 pipe cleaners (2 each for the legs and 1 for the tongue, so choose your colours accordingly), 2 googly eyes.
You start with painting the ice-cream stick with a bright happy colour. Once it is dry you stick on the googly eyes, the legs and the tongue, so that your bug looks like this -
You could decorate your bug with spots, stripes, stars... pretty simple eh!!!
