With powerful legs and soaring jumps, grasshoppers are nature’s tiny acrobats—perfect for sparking curiosity in young minds!
This grasshopper clothespin craft is a fun, hands-on way to explore the outdoors while building fine motor skills and encouraging early scientific thinking. As kids paint, bend, and glue, they’re not just crafting—they’re learning about insects, ecosystems, and the joy of creating together.
Materials:
– Wooden clothespins
– Green paint or marker
– Green pipe cleaners
– Googly eyes
– Hot glue gun (adult use only)
Directions:
1. Take a wooden clothespin and color it green with paint or a marker. Once dried, glue on google eyes (adult help required).
2. Clip one half of the pipe cleaner to the front of the clothespin and the other half toward the back.
3. Bend both pipe cleaner halves into the shape of insect legs.
