How To Make It
Lay out plastic spoons on newspaper. Your child can do this while you are mixing the
plaster of Paris.
Place plaster in the well of the spoons and level with butter knife. Let stand a minute or
two and then press on pin backings (for pins to wear) or magnets (for the fridge). Let dry
completely.
Pop out plaster from spoons by pressing the outer edges of the spoon. With butter knife
smooth edges of bug easily. Place on the newspaper you used to dry on for painting.
Paint bugs with any color paints, it doesn't even have to be the same color the weirder
the better. Small children paint with cotton swabs and the older with brushes.
