Ramblings of a Crazy Woman

I derived this craft from a project that Cheyanne's pre school class did. I thought it was a perfect Easter craft to share. We used: an Egg carton cup, playdough (or clay), 6 craft sticks, scissors, brown and gold paint, brushes, Easter grass (or craft moss) and glue. This can be done in so many different ways, so just use what you have around the house. Cheyanne painted 4 craft sticks brown and 2 gold.

Fill the egg cup with playdough and glue on the grass. Poke the crosses into the dough. I also cut out an egg shape from construction paper and glued the egg cup on it.

My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
