Make a Swarm of Tumblebugs
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Set these little critters on an incline and watch them cartwheel a beeline to the bottom. The secret to their antics is a marble rolling around inside.
- Materials
-
- Scissors
- Card stock
- 2 nickels
- Tacky glue
- Toothpick
- Marble (1 for each bug)
- Black marker
- Colored tissue paper
- Glue stick
- Instructions
-
-
For each bug, cut a 5-1/2- by 3/4-inch strip of card stock and two 1 3/4- by 7/8-inch card stock ovals. -
To make an oval, lay 2 nickels side by side on the card stock and trace around them, connecting the top and bottom. -
Glue the strip into a loop, overlapping the ends by an inch. Pinch it or use a paper clip to hold it together while the glue dries.
Next, use a toothpick to line one edge of the loop with glue, then set the loop on top of an oval. -
When the glue dries, place a marble inside. Line the edge of the loop with glue and press the other oval on top. -
Once all the glue is dry, use a marker to add a face and other features. Cut out a couple of 2-inch-long wings from tissue paper and use the glue stick to attach them to the top of your bug.
