WALKING STICK
Supplies:
- Forked Twig
- 2 12-inch black or brown pipe cleaners
- 2 tiny wiggle eyes
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
Trim a thin forked twig so that each of the forks are one inch long and the main stem is five inches long. The twig will be the body and the forked ends will be the antennae. Cut your pipe cleaner into 3 six inch pieces. Wrap the center of each piece around the twig and bend so the insect will stand.
Glue the two wiggle eyes on each side of the antennae.
Real walking sticks are hard to spot. They look so much like twigs that they blend into the trees on which they live.
Craft from Ms. Vanetta at the West Wyandotte YS Department.
