How to make the Ant Hill Craft

The first thing you do is tear up the brown or yellow construction paper. We used a light yellow that we had. This is great for building fine motor skills.

We glue the torn paper on the blue construction paper to build or ant hill.

Then we tore the green construction paper to make some grass at the bottom of the ant and paper. We kept on side straight to have it line up nicely with the paper.
