DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Dragonfly Craft
Both of my daughters love dragonflies and helped me design this cute
and simple paper craft. |
|
Materials:
- paper
- printer
- something to color with (B&W version)
- waxed paper (optional)
- scissors
- glue
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice (you can print the B&W version on
blue paper if you want less coloring)
- Color the template pieces (if using the B&W version)
- Cut out the template pieces (young children may need help with this step)
- Glue the dragonfly together:
- Set the largest circle aside.
- Glue the other circles together, slightly overlapping, from the
smallest circle to the largest (this is good sorting practice for young
children).
- Glue the wings onto the body (two per side). Instead of using
the template pieces, you can trace the templates onto a piece of waxed
paper and make waxed paper wings instead (you can even put a bit of
glitter onto the wings to sparkle them up a bit).
- Glue the largest circle on top of the wings and body. This will
be the head.
- Glue the face and antennas onto the head.
- Glue the flower in the "hair" or on a wing
Printing the Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this
screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the
template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
