To complete this craft project, you need to follow the instructions written at the bottom of the page carefully. Here is the step-by-step process:
1.
Cut: First, use scissors to cut out the two main shapes. One shape is the full body of the grasshopper on the left, and the other shape contains the two large back legs on the right.
2.
Fold: Look at the dotted line running down the middle of the grasshopper's body. Fold the paper along this line so that the front and back halves meet. The word "FOLD" at the top shows you which way to bend it.
3.
Glue: Take the separate leg pieces you cut out. Apply glue to them and attach one leg to the left side of the folded body and the other leg to the right side. Make sure they are secure so the grasshopper can stand up.
4.
Label (Optional): If your teacher asked you to, you can write labels on the parts of the grasshopper (like head, thorax, abdomen, legs) to show what you learned.
5.
Display: Once the glue is dry, you can stand the grasshopper up on your desk. You can also write your name on it to use as a name card.
Final Answer: Cut out the grasshopper body and legs, fold the body along the dotted center line, and glue a leg to each side to make it stand up.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable grasshopper stencils.
