The "Nasenzwicker" of the maple tree are ideal for crafting a dragonfly. In June and July the maple trees hang full of maple seeds. With their bright green they are an eye-width. A pipe cleaner wire and a few pearls with two maple seeds become a dragonfly. The precise and illustrated instructions are available here!
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
Maple seeds (also known as nasal tickers!)
Prepare material
Cut maple seeds with style individually.
Two maple seeds are needed.
Put maple seeds together.
Halve pipe cleaner in length (approx. 15 cm length for a dragonfly!)
Put the pipe cleaner under the maple seeds. The overhanging noses will be the "feelers"
Bend the wire exactly between the "feelers" down
Place pipe cleaners tightly around the maple seeds and twist them together. Thus, the seeds are fixed to the wire.
Now select the beads for the body.
Attach it to the pipe cleaner as desired. Always push the beads to the top.
thread the last pearl with a little distance to be able to twist the wire with it.
Feeler bend a bit right and the dragonfly is ready!
Find a nice place for her, place her in a bouquet, flower pot or embellish a gift with it!
Try out different bead combinations. So each dragonfly becomes a unique!
