Day 29 Make some Pebble Bugs

This evenings activity for the 30 Days Wild Challenge was to sit in the garden with my youngest daughter and make some Pebble Bugs together.  I went first to show her how its done, impressing her with my painting skills.  After showing her the technique she then had a go at making one of her own.

Start with a pebble

Paint the head black and the body 
a colour of your choice and add some spots

Next add some eyes and a smile

Over to you then

Not a bad effort

After making some Pebble Bugs we planted some Sunflower seeds.  A bit late planting, but I was saving this activity until the end just in case I got stuck for ideas.

 Some drainage at the bottom
