  Step 1

  In honor of our magical friend, the dragonfly, we created these simple, sweet little crafts.

  Here's what you will need
  ~ twigs
  ~ beads for the eyes
  ~ maple keys
  ~ glue gun
  ~ glitter (if that appeals to you) I highly recommend Martha Stewart's gem stone glitter ~ it is the queen of glitter, with superb sparkle!

  Step 2

  First we collect twigs that caught our eye and held that "dragonfly quality" ; ) We had maple keys stored from the fall so we pulled them out and began...
  So simple ~ kids choose their sticks, maple keys, glitter and bead (eye) colors ~ I then glue gunned on the wings and beads...

  Step 3

  The girls took the glue and either edged the wings, gooped it on or painted it on...then shook on that sparkle!

• 

  Step 4

  What started out as a quick craft soon became a world of creating entire families of dragonflies ~ complete with names and personalities. I love how children throw themselves completely into creation and imagination.

  Step 5

  These rainbow dragonflies were ready to take flight in the garden!

  Step 6

  Thinking we may make a mobile out of these magical creatures or perhaps use them as christmas decorations.
  In the sparkle our our majestic friend
