| | Bug Safari was my first VBS with our church and I loved it! I've got to dig out my giant lightning bugs I made from green 2 liter bottles with the flashlight in the body. They were so cool! They will be fantastic for Crocodile Dock next year! But I guess I better keep my nose in the "Lab" for now. Eight days and counting... Laura in NC |

We are doing a "bug" room for powerlab (I think this is going to be the preschool room) I would love to make these & hang them. God bless

| | I'll admit, they are a little time consuming, but really neat. I used two 2 liter bottles, the "abdomen" one has to be green. Cut off the necks so you have an opening to put crumpled-up, clear celophane (like you wrap an easter basket with) in the "butt" and the flashlight in the other one. Its probably obvious, but you need the flashlight handle to go up inside the "thorax" portion of the bug so it can point down toward the green 2 ltr / celophane in the other bottle. You have to cut a small opening in the upper bottle/thorax so you can turn the flashlight on and off, too. This is where our wonderful supplier of duct tape comes in. I joined the two bottles (openings together) and covered the upper portion/thorax (the one with the flashlight) with black duct tape, added a head (it could be styrofoam, a ball-pit ball [like we used for our molecules] or anything that would make it proportionate to the body). I stuck some pipe cleaners on the head for antennae and cut out eyes and big, red, smiling lips so the preschoolers wouldn't be freaked out. Then I hung them from the drop ceiling with fishing line. The kids got such a kick out of them. You really have to put the clear celophane in the green 2 liter, because that's what reflects the light from the flashlight. And I just used a Dollar Tree flashlight. Oh, I used the pipe cleaners to make the legs hanging off the thorax portion, too. Oh, again! The wings! I made them wings out of coat hangers bent to form a diamond, covered them with colored saran wrap, and taped them to the back of the thorax, as I wrapped it with the black duct tape. Four wings per bug, using the hanger's hook to attach them. If you have any questions, give me a holler through the email. Blessings, Laura in NC |
