Clay Spoon Bugs

You will need some air drying clay for this project, but it is dirt cheap. i picked up a huge bucket for 10$ at micheals, and i had a 40% off coupon so i only spent 6$ on it. so keep an eye out.  You could also use modelling clay or other materials but Air Drying Clay will give you the best results.

This is a 2 stage project, so you will need something else to do once stage one of this is complete. maybe you can make a whole group of bugs to work with.

What you will need:

• Air Drying Clay; or other material
• Q-tips; each tip makes 2 legs so use as many as you want legs.
• plastic spoon

Take your plastic spoon and a ball of Clay and mold the clay to form on the spoon.

Grab your Q-tips (which have been cut in half to make 2 legs) and insert them into the stomach part of the bug.

If there is anything else you want to insert now is the time to do so, once the clay is dry you will have to glue anything else you want on.

Now set aside and allow to dry - This can take up to 2 days but generally will be dry in a day (i say 2 in case you make a VERY large bug)

 Once your bug friend has dried it is time for you to make them beautiful. you can use any colouring material you like, we used paint.

Set them aside once finished decorating and allow them to fully dry before playing with them.
