Step 2:
Using the glitter glue and stickers decorate the jar.
Step 3:
Wrap the craft wire or pipe cleaner around the jar, below the ridge, looping it over to make a handle.

Screw lid onto the jar. If the nylon is to tight it will run when you do this.
Helpful Tip For Parents
These are made with glass jars, so caution your preschoolers that they could break. Remind your preschooler that they can explore their new bug friends in the jar, but when they are done exploring them, to return them to the outside, because that is where bugs belong. The fun is that they can do it again the next time.
