This dragonfly craft for kids is easy to make. This bug kids craft is made with a few supplies. This clothespin dragonfly makes a great chip bag clip.
Dragonflies always remind me of vacations on the river when I was little. I remember playing in the river being fascinated with them.
This memory came to me while I was making these dragonfly crafts with my kids. Isn’t it funny, how doing a simple craft reminds you of a very distant memory?
We occasionally see dragonflies in our vegetable garden. My kids thought of the dragonflies in our vegetable garden while making this craft.
I love the conversations I have with my kids while crafting.
I love that this bug kids craft uses leftover craft supplies. Your dragonfly can be any color that you want, depending on what craft supplies you have at home.
We had leftover jeweled stickers, so we used those. I have also seen these made with buttons or beads. Use what supplies you have at home.
You can use 1 chenille stem or 2 chenille stems for your dragonfly’s wings. We used 2 chenille stems.
