Garden Bugs

These bright-eyed little bugs are an adorable way to mark veggies in the garden. This is a simple project that’s lots of fun for kids.

What You Need:

  • plastic cap
  • plastic folder
  • thick needle or awl to make holes
  • wire
  • hot glue
  • permanent marker

How to Make It:

  1. Cut a wide heart shape from the plastic folder to make the wings.
  2. Poke two holes in the plastic cap and two in the wings. (Tip: Heat the needle if you’re having trouble poking holes).
  3. Pass the wire up through the one hole of the cap and wings, then down through the other. Twist the ends.
  4. Cut 2 small circles out of plastic and draw pupils with a marker, then glue them in place.
  5. Cut a speech bubble from the folder and write the name of the crop on it. Glue it to the wire.
