Hands on craft
You can see this craft here:
- We cut the cardboard into strips of a width of about 2 cm. We will need as many strips as bugs we want to have in our career. Bear in mind that each participant will carry a bug. So we can take advantage of so that each one makes their own bug to their liking, choosing the color of the cardboard and the decoration of the bug.
- Once we have all the strips we will fold them in half. It is important to tighten well all the folds that we make so that later the bug can run without problem.
- We unfold that double and we will have two parts in the strip, we fold each of them in half The ends meeting in the center of the entire strip.
- Keeping these folds we fold in half again each one of them and we finish folding the piece by the first fold that we have made. It will be like a piece of cardboard. We press well to leave the edges very marked.
- Now is the time to decorate our bug. We can trim the two side edges either round or pointed according to the appearance that we want for our bug.
- Once cut, we unfold and it is time to paint the face and body of our bug, we can paint polka dots, stripes ... even And that he will ask Liang to see if he has some finished clothes for him ... we can put a tongue on him by gluing a piece of cardboard. We can paint the face or glue a few pieces of cardboard. We can also cut the last link of paper that would be the tail so that it ends in a point ... whatever comes to mind.
And ready!
You just have to mark a starting line and a finish line, prepare our bugs and blow on the piece of cardboard closest to the part of the fold so the bugs will run.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
