Popsicle Stick Bugs - Kid Craft

Although I’m personally not a big fan of critters – the little Popsicle Stick Bugs I’m sharing today are ALWAYS welcome in my home!

Craft Supplies:

Before diving into your bug-making adventure, gather these basic supplies:

  • Regular Sized Popsicle Sticks – 12 per bug
  • School Glue
  • Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Craft Scissors
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Pen or Pencil

Directions:

  • First assemble the base of your bugs. Although we did three different bugs – they all had the same basic SQUARE frame shape. For each, simply glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Next have your child paint the front of the popsicle stick fences. We did one frame in red for a ladybug, yellow/black stripes for a bee and orange for a butterfly.
  • Set aside to let them dry completely.
  • Now cut out the cardstock embellishments to give your pieces life. For the ladybug and bee we just got out antennas, while for the butterfly we traced Lil Man’s hands for the wings.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Bugs craft, glue on the paper embellishments and let it all dry completely, before displaying proudly!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
