Just to clarify, the reason I’ve named this insect craft a doodlebug is because it involves patterning (also known as doodling). The bug design is based on a realistic-looking garden bug, and by decorating it with doodles we’re reminded that patterns exist all around us in the natural world. This STEM project combines a bit of science with a bit of creativity, inviting kids to design symmetrical patterns on the bug’s back as well as on the leaf he’s sitting on. While they can be a little bit scary (especially the big ones), I’m fascinated by their alien-like features and their intricate patterns and designs. I have a love-hate relationship with bugs. Seriously, I love a good doodle art project, and when that project also happens to be 3D like this doodlebug-on-a-leaf, I like it even better!
