Directions:
1.  Using a big roll of white paper, we cut drew then cut out a BIG bug body
2.  Trace the first body to make a second
3.  Paint, color, glue, decorate the bug (both sides)!  Go nuts!  ...add Glossy Mod Podge for a little extra shine :)
4.  Staple the 2 sides together, leaving a hole to stuff the bug
5.  Using shredded paper from our office shredder and donated newspapers we stuffed and stuffed
6.  Once your bug is fat enough, close it up with a few more staples

2D Giant Butterfly

Materials needed:
-Big white drawing paper
-Crayons
-Scissors
-Black construction paper
-Glue

Directions:
1.  Fold the big white drawing paper in half
2.  Draw one half of a butterfly, just one wing, in black crayon...press HARD
3.  Fold the butterfly in half the opposite way
4.  Using a tool (like a wide popsicle stick) press down and rub the stick over the paper...the idea is to transfer the crayon enough to the other side so you can have a mirror image of the design
5.  Trace over the ghost lines with black crayon, pressing equally as hard so it's the same on both sides
6.  Color it in
7.  Glue a butterfly body in the middle
