Undirected Craft time - make an insect:

I provided Kaitlyn (age 6 at the time) with a range of random materials:

	cardboard egg carton cups
	markers
	pom poms
	wiggly eyes
	felt and fun foam in various colors

and let her design her own 'bug'. This little guy is what she came up with (having the fun foam leaf as the base made it easier to assemble as she could glue all the pieces to that).

The egg carton cup is actually colored with marker, not painted.

Sometimes, it's fun to give a more 'artistic' craft time that allows them to design their own project instead of providing a directed craft.
