Bug Crafts


Yes, you’re right! From ice-cream sticks to a home made puzzle in 5 easy steps!	Bug Crafts that make a great Sunday School Project.	These Ladybug Bug Crafts are always a favourite, even for use in your homeschool.

By doing bug crafts with your children, it creates an opportunity to talk to them about the amazing way that God created the earth and every tiny living thing on it.

Bring across the message that God created him/her in the same way He created the ladybug, bee, etc. That God only made good things and that He made us part of His big plan that He had for the world.

The 4 designs on this page (a caterpillar, bee, locust and ladybug) are painted on popsicle sticks and can be used as a puzzle afterwards. Kids just love them!
