Button Bug

Making something they can play with is good but when the process includes patterning and a fine motor skills workout , it's fantastic!

1. Gather your materials. You will need some buttons of various colors, a pipe cleaner and that's it. If you want to put eyes on you need 2 small buttons as well.

2. Start by bending your pipe cleaner in half.

3. Start threading your buttons on.Make sure to thread them on both ends. We did a pattern but you don't have to.

4. Only thread buttons half way along the pipe cleaners.

5. Add the eyes

6. Bend the pipe cleaners up to make antennae.
