This craft is great because you don't need anything fancy - just a basket coffee filter, a pipe cleaner, and some watercolors. I did this with my 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old, and they both enjoyed it. I got the idea from a friend that ran a toddler group.
First have your kids paint a coffee filter, and then let it dry before adding the pipe cleaner. Fold the pipe cleaner in half (like picture #2), with the filter scrunched in the middle, and twist the pipe cleaner on either side of the filter so it holds the middle in place. Continue twisting the bottom half to make the body, and bend the tops to make the antennae. So cute:) I'm going to make a bunch to decorate my daughter's room.
