This is a great project for preschoolers and makes super cute dragonfly toys to play with after.
Our little ones love zipping around the room playing with their flying dragonfly’s pretending they are on a fun buggy adventure.
Step 1: Starting your Dragonfly
To start your dragonfly craft, grab 1 popsicle stick, 1 of the large pompoms and 5 or 6 of your smaller pompoms.
Apply a small drop of glue onto one side of your popsicle stick toward the top where your dragonfly’s head will be.
Step 2: Make the Dragonfly Head
Place the large pompom to the glued area of your popsicle stick to form the dragonfly’s head.
Step 3: Start Assembling the Dragonfly’s Body
Apply another drop of glue under the large pompom to start assembling the rest of your dragonfly’s body.
Step 4: Craft your Dragonfly Wings
Grab your glitter paper and start tracing out the dragonfly wings on it. Use scissors to cut out the traced wings.
Step 5: Glue on Your Dragonfly Wings
Attach the glitter wing shape glitter side up on the popsicle stick right below the small pompom.
Step 6: Form the Rest of the Dragonfly’s Body
Now that your wings are attached, start gluing more small pompoms under your other pompoms down the popsicle stick.
This will form the rest of your dragonfly’s colorful body.
Step 7: Add Eyes to your Dragonfly Craft
Once you’ve finished attaching the pompoms to your dragonfly’s body, glue on googly eyes to the large pompom to complete your dragonfly’s head.
Now you and your preschooler can admire your adorable little dragonfly craft.
