We built a pond in our garden last Summer and have been waiting patiently for dragonflies to move in. We\u2019ve already got frogs and lots of tadpoles so we\u2019re optimistic that the dragonflies will be next. Fingers crossed! While we wait for these beautiful insects to arrive we thought we\u2019d put together a collection of all our favourite DRAGONFLY CRAFTS<\/strong> in one place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re sharing 20 pretty dragonfly crafts for preschoolers and bigger kids with you today and will add to them as we create more or spot new gems from our favourite craft blogs.\u00a0 These dragonflies are lovely to make over the summer or if you\u2019re following an insect study unit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Have fun!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve grouped these dragonfly activities into sets of 4. Each set has a photograph of all the dragonflies so you can choose which of them you\u2019d like to make first. When you\u2019ve chosen simply click on the text link to go to the full instructions.<\/p>\n
