I have the easiest craft for you today. You don't even need any special supplies. I call it a bug catcher or a critter carrier depending what is actually caught. This is also a great craft to do with cub scouts.
All you need is an empty parmesan container, scissors, green paper, tape, stickers, string or yarn and something to punch a hole with.
For the grass, snip about 2/3 of the way down on your 1 inch strip of paper until you have enough "grass" to wrap around the bottom of the jar.
Punch a hole on each side and thread the yarn from the outside in tying the knot on the inside. Now it's time for stickers. My boys didn't add a ton because they didn't want to block the view. Add some grass, leaves and sticks to the bottom of your bug jar.
Now it's time to go bug hunting. Screw on the lid. There's one side with air holes and one side with a larger opening to pop in your wild creature.
The boys had such a blast looking for their bugs. FYI, daddy longlegs can escape through the air hole.
Thanks so much for stopping by Fakin It. I would love it if you "liked" my blog in the upper right corner.

Love it! My boys would think this is great. We have making a bug habitat on our summer list!
