About This Project

🪰 Transform into a buzzing fly with your very own mask! Create compound eyes, antennae, and everything that makes flies so fascinating. Get ready to explore the world through bug-sized eyes! Did you know that a fly has compound eyes made up of thousands of six-sided lenses? A house fly has about 4,000 lenses in each eye, and no two lenses point in the same direction! This craft helps kids understand how flies see while creating an amazing wearable mask.

This project is perfect for:
  • Insect Education Projects
  • Bug Costume Making
  • Science Learning Activities
  • Kids Costume Masks
  • Wearable Craft Projects
