About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Sharpie Markers, Googly Eyes, and White Glue.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    "I can't wait to make a project with you!"

    Step 1: Make the face

    Stick googly eyes on a pouch cap lid. Twist a piece of pipe cleaner to make the antennae and twist or glue in place.

    Step 2: Decorate a plastic lid.

    Use a permanent marker to decorate the plastic lid. You can draw any design you like! Spots, stripes, and wings are all fun ideas.

    Step 3: Glue the pouch cap to the lid.

    Glue the pouch cap onto the decorated lid. Now your bug is done!
