How to Make Flying Bugs with Twist Ties

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Pam on behalf of Expert Village and today I'm going to show you different art projects for kids. Here's something fun that kids can make and then again, play with after they're done. You want to take tissue paper, any color, any length, have the kids color it, decorate it, make fun shapes. Then you want to take it and cut it into bug wings. Now bug wings can be as big or as small as you want them to be and you can make as many or as few of them as you want. Once you've done that, you're going to take some twistie ties, you can get these off breads, anything that comes with a twistie tie on it, or you can get them with the fruit that you're buying because you're having your kids eat healthy. And you want to take this, fold it in the middle a little bit and tie it with the twistie tie. Now this, you're going to use to represent the thorax and the antenna, stick it up like the antenna and you have your little bug wings. And you can do the same with all of them, like I said, you can have as many of these or as few of these as you want, as long as you keep your kids interested. Some of them will only want to make one, some of them will want to make fifty. So then, you're going to take any type of bowl, popcorn bowl, any kind you want, throw the bugs into the bowl, then you're going to take a book or a newspaper, something, and you're going to fan the bugs and the bugs will fly."
