CRAZY GARDEN INSECT

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: LOW-MEDIUM

Would you like to make your own crazy garden insect? Our insect is sort of like a catapillar and sort of like a snail. What will yours look like? 

YOU WILL NEED:
a number of bottle tops
3 pipe cleaners or something similar
paper
glue
pen
knife or large nail (to me used by your grownup)

STEP 1: Ask your grownup to create holes in the middle of the bottle tops using a nail or knife. It might be easiest to use a knife. The larger the hole, the easier it will be for a child to poke the pipe cleaner through. Then create a sort of knot on the end of your first bottle top. From here, continue adding bottle tops.

---

STEP 2: Alternative bottle top colours as you like, and create another sort of knot once you reach the end of your pipe cleaner. 

---

STEP 3: Cut one of your pipe cleaners in half to make legs. Slip the pipe cleaner between the bottle tops and twist. 

---

STEP 4: Take the last pipe cleaner and slip it between the last bottle top to make antenna. Then cut  out paper circles, draw black circles in the centre and glue them to the ​antenna.  We would love to see your pics! #GoldenToadKids
