Bees, Butterflies & Other Creepy Crawly Critters

Catherine Romano blogs about crafty projects for kids and parents


Since we’ve enjoyed a few days of beautiful sunshine, my son has been spending alot of time outside. One of his new favourite things to do is search for bumble bees and spiders. (Which I happen to think are two of the creepiest critters around.) In my attempt to stay away from the real life buzzing and creepy-crawling, I made my son these less threatening friends (and I threw in a butterfly to pretty things up). The only problem was that once I complete the craft, my son suggested we bring his new friends outside to play with the real critters. Nice.

Anyhow, here are the materials and instructions:

  • Toilet paper rolls
  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
