At-Home Activity
Spice up your wardrobe by making your very own beetle weaponry headband! You can watch the last few minutes of the live stream video to hear Brenna explain the details, but the basics are pretty simple. 1) Create the band of your headband by cutting a strip of construction paper and stapling it in a circle to fit the size of your head. 2) Draw and cut out the shape of your horn and glue it to one side of your band. Need inspiration for the shape of your horns? Check out this cool slideshow from the New York Times. 3) Decorate, decorate, decorate! Add eyes! Add more color! 4) Post photos and tag us in them on social media, we’d love to see your creations!
