An Ant

Materials:

Two 2-1/2” Styrofoam eggs

One 1/2” Styrofoam ball

Four pipe cleaners

Wiggly eyes

Black or red acrylic paint

Toothpicks (the large type)

Instructions:

1.         Poke two toothpicks halfway into the big end of both egg shapes. Press the ball onto one egg shape and then press the other egg shape onto the other end of the ball shape.

2.         Paint the ant with black or red acrylic paint.

3.         When the paint is dry cut the pipe cleaners in half, save two halves for the antennae. Fold the other halves in half and twist the ends around each other. Insert the folded pipe cleaners (pointy ends into the Styrofoam) into the middle of the body for legs. Fold them to look like ant legs. Insert the reserved half pipe cleaners into the head and glue on eyes.
