1. Before the party: Print a bug template for each child onto cardstock; trim as indicated. Cut 5 x 1¾-inch strips of cardstock in the same colors. Place a bug design, cardstock strip, and a battery-operated tea light into a zip-top bag for each child.

2. At the party: Have the kids decorate their bugs and assemble the lights. Wrap the strip around the light and secure with tape. Then tape on the bug at the seam.

Pet Rocks

Pet Rock Craft
Credit: Dana Gallagher

Kids will dig giving their spiders real personality!

What To Do 

1. Before the party: Cut a bunch of pipe cleaners in half so that there are four pieces for each student. Bring a rock for each child.

2. At the party: Spread out wax paper and have the children paint the rocks as desired (leave the bottoms unpainted); let dry.

3. While they’re drying, the kids can make the legs: Wrap one pipe cleaner around the middle of the other three, and twist in place. Spread them out, and bend each in the middle to make joints.

4. Glue the legs to the bottom of the rock, then glue on googly eyes. Let dry before taking home.
