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

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.
