Sycamore seed dragonflies & threading wings
Now is a great time to be on the lookout for any windfall sycamore seeds! or maybe relieve a heavily laden tree of a few clusters!
Sterilise for 15 minutes & pat dry in a towel to make these early greens ideal for gluing. In contrast to their older selves these seeds have a water repellent surface that makes painting with posters quite interesting
Use twigs, sticks or like us paper straws as the dragonfly's body and with a glue secure them all in place.
Seperate, match sizes, count, make patterns
Minibeast insect themed picture storybooks for preschool
and for older children and adults who enjoy colouring this Entangled Dragonflies book is excellent
See this page to find out how to make a dragonfly wings for threading
