Do you want more craft and activity ideas? Have a look at this awesome Monster Puppet Craft, it's one of our faves! You could even take this idea and use it to make germ puppets!
This adorable germ craft doubles up as a fantastic learning activity that can teach children not just about science, but also about the importance of washing their hands regularly throughout the day.
You might also want to make a poster about hand washing using our printable hand washing colouring page.
It might not seem important to children, but we, as grown-ups, know exactly how important it is for children to wash hand their correctly and how much impact it can have on their health if they don't, so it's crucial to teach them about germs. And what better way than to turn a learning session into a fun craft activity?!
Before beginning this germ craft it would be a good idea to take a look at some images of real germ bacteria under a microscope (a quick image search will show up lots of examples)

Germs Craft Tutorial
STEP 1: Print our free template!
Before beginning your germ craft you will need to gather up all your supplies. This includes downloading and printing out the eye template available at the bottom of the page.
STEP 2: Cut different germ shapes
Cut the eyes out and set aside. Next, cut random shapes from coloured paper and then glue the shapes onto white paper.
Younger children might need a bit of support in cutting out their shapes.

STEP 3: Add the circles and outline all the shapes
Draw black lines coming from your cut out shape and glue coloured circles to the ends of the lines. Outline everything with a black marker to make it stand out.
STEP 4: Glue the eyes and put your cute germs together!
Glue the eyes onto the germs and add a smile. There is no right or wrong way to do this germ craft and it’s so much fun. A collection of 'germs' would look great on a bulletin board in a classroom, maybe next to a sign telling children what to do to stay germ free.
