What You Need: egg carton, scissors, tempera paint, paintbrush, glue, 1/8-inch hole punch, black pipe cleaner, googly eyes.
How You Make It: Cut apart egg carton into individual “cups.” Paint bugs however you’d like. Glue on googly eyes. Punch or poke three holes on each side of bug. Cut pipe cleaner into three equal sections and insert one in each set of holes.
“We tried it” tip: If you don’t have a small hole punch, a pointy object should work. Pre-punch leg holes for small children.
