Design your own bug catcher
Two kids and a bug are in a bedroom. The boy has light skin and dark brown hair. He is wearing green pajamas, lying on a bed, and looking down at the bug. The girl has light skin and medium brown hair. She is wearing polka-dot pajamas, kneeling on the floor, and holding a backpack and a water bottle. The boy is thinking about a cardboard tube, stick, a ruler, a box of tissues, and a tray. The girl is thinking about a cup, a jar, a piece of mesh, and a piece of paper.
