INSTRUCTIONS 1. First, have the kids color both ends of their popsicle stick with a red or pink marker so you don’t have to worry about having the yarn go right to the ends.

[{"selector":"#anim-9ec26a70-5ad0-449a-bb67-32f4fb957a4f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9241553d-a654-417d-ae3f-7524d58088ac","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.08831%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da1c9d10-06a9-4b9b-ae09-364057cace5b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62c5edb8-9317-42d3-a629-85850aa227ca","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.26667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-89f23343-0a8a-40cc-8127-9f946b6e60fe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2024a58-1c76-4a48-9851-4a949ee7050a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

2. Next, wrap yarn scraps around your popsicle sticks. I found that 3 different colors of yarn looked the best.

[{"selector":"#anim-b7d9bc1f-1546-4fe6-8d22-1e6fda3a0808","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-45f1e3e5-dacf-4c9a-9d66-123b01755d63","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 215.26780%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8346f96b-1196-4e02-8ea8-4c28d36f8dfe","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4c9bee9-ed49-4de7-a9b7-13968445dbf1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(93.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-962443e5-411d-4063-a935-a2473534f2df","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-185a6ed8-06c8-4d39-a916-e8ea78ae7781","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

3. Once you are done wrapping all of your yarn around your popsicle stick, you can add the pipe cleaner antennae. Cut each pipe cleaner in half, use half a pipe cleaner for each love bug.

[{"selector":"#anim-67446cc1-00de-45f7-85a6-bcd04cba668c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5902f329-8a78-4bd6-9b04-09ead542827e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 149.40010%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea3b04e2-aea5-4be4-ba07-f42cc2edaeb8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4cb7ce5-c1cd-4da8-b6de-d0eb9a74b606","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(96.80000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a9b50319-0ead-41b9-a71c-507d81a65a14","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12766e9b-5e0f-42de-9d44-122aaf2727c6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more

4. This next step should be done by an adult only. Glue your googly eyes onto your love bugs with a glue gun.

[{"selector":"#anim-07369c78-ed62-436b-bdb0-f17acbedd52b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-44cef0f4-d845-4354-978d-b17287782a2a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bb55f26d-acba-43e8-aab4-bafcad36b441","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a4c6a87-0c14-4d3c-8b04-cdf983ebf0ae","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 277.35454%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-48dab542-147c-4940-8353-1a2d8e3e7e0c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-21b86d93-84a4-46a0-b261-5956edd271a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
