Love Bugs

Pin It

I have been trying to think of different fun quick and easy crafts that I can do with my daughter after school.  She really loves doing out projects, but I have to admit I don't always have the time to spend doing them.  So I thought if I could do some quick and simple crafts then we are still doing our projects and I can still get dinner made and take care of the baby, who is going to be a year old in just a couple weeks how does time go by so fast?

Last week I actually had a few little crafts we did, but since it is close to Valentines Day I thought we would start with the Valentines Craft first.  Which were the cutest little Love Bugs.  My daughter has been playing with them every night.  These really are very simple and easy to make so if you have toddlers I am sure you can get them in on the fun here.

Supplies

Large Pom Poms
Extra Small Pom Poms
Pipe Cleaners
Foam Hearts
Google Eyes
Glue

Directions

Start by gluing a large pom pom to one of your foam hearts (the heart will be its feet).
  
Glue your googly eyes to the front (the front is the side with the two arches on the heart showing....aka the feet)

Cut your pipe cleaners so that they are small enough for anti, then glue the extra small pom poms to one end of the pipe cleaners.

Now glue your pipe cleaners to the large pom pom (the side without the small pom pom gets glued)

  2. I love your pom pom bugs. My girls love pom poms but we have a lot of trouble getting anything to stick to them. What sort of glue do you use? I am a new follower too.

  3. Hi Ali, We used Elmer's Craft Bond for these. I actually got it at Dollar Tree. It comes in a small tube that is a little bigger than a pen.
