A few weeks ago we attempted this lovely dragonfly craft , but being unable to locate my glue gun, it became more of an adventure than I bargained for.
But the kids had fun once I figured out what the heck maple keys are (helicopters). I didn't glue my fingers together like I usually do when using a glue gun and it only took me a week of patient attention to attach everything with Elmer's glue.
So, basically, what I'm saying is, you really need a glue gun for this craft.
Below is how we did it, but definitely check out the link above to see how they made their dragonflies.
Materials
1.Glue gun. If you can't find the glue gun, just give up now.
2. Maple keys a.k.a 'helicopters' those tree seeds that churn in the air like a helicopter.
3.Short twigs.
4.Teeny tiny baby acorns or beads
5.Glitter or paints. We used glitter glue.
Instructions
1.With glue gun attach the maple keys to the twigs to make wings. Glue on the acorns or beads to make eyes.
2.Let kids decorate as they wish.
3.Make a dragonfly mobile or tape them to the wall.
P.S. Sorry for the poor quality pic, I am working on taking a better picture.
