This was a great craft for the fall. I was looking for something with a back-to-school theme for our first meeting this year. I came up with this cute worm crawling up to eat a red, delicious apple.My son even gave one to this teacher.
Just as a quick note, make sure you use tacky glue as glue sticks and regular white glue does not stick to felt. It can be found at arts and craft stores.
Hardware:
Scissors
Tacky Glue
Materials:
Pencil
Red felt
Light green pipe cleaner
Dark green pipe cleaner
Googly eyes (6mm)
Adult Prep:
· Cut 2 apple shapes out of red felt for each craft
· Cut both light and green pipe cleaners in half
· Cut 1 dark green pipe cleaner into 1 inch pieces
Method:
· Outline one of the apples with tacky glue, leaving a small gap for the pencil
· Place 1” piece of pipe cleaner on the top, in the middle for the stem. Add a small dap of tacky glue on top
· Place pencil in the gap of the glue
· Place second apple on top, pressing down on the edges.
· Twist the light and dark green pipe cleaners together and wrap around the pencil; bend the top slightly for the head.
· Glue 2 googly eyes on the worm’s head
