Activity wrap up
Can you identify what a cricket looks like? Where they live and what they eat? Are they different? I would like the child to become aware of different materials that can produce a variety of effects.
How do I know what my child is learning (Assessment)
Experiment with different materials and how they can be used to produce a variety of effects. Talk to the child about what they are learning?
How can you extend the activity (modifications)
If you are having a hard time glueing use tape to help attach the popsicle stick and parts of the cricket. If there is no cardboard you can use felt material.
Helpful Hints (pitfalls and solutions)
The cardboard may rip. You can double cardboard to make it stronger.
