The Felt Bug

My daughter had to make a bug for her second grade class, so of course nothing in this house can ever be simple. I cut 6 circles out of green felt, and then blanket stitched them together with white thread. She helped stuff them with fiber fill and bean bag filling and she also chose the pipe cleaners for the antennae. I put the eyes on and sewed the legs on, although she gave strict instructions about where she wanted them placed and how many. I tried to give him 8 and was quickly informed that insects have 6. Here is the felt bug, who eats brussel sprouts, and whose habitat is her teacher's closet ...

You just prompted a discussion between me and my husband...I thought they had 8 too! lol, But I guess then, that would make it a spider, huh? Spiders have eight, right?

ooh. It is too late for me I guess.
Either way, that little buggy is too cute!

I guess I didn't know insects had a specific number of legs, I thought insect was an all encompassing term, lol. No, I am not smarter than a 2nd grader. :)
