Cut a chenille stem into four equal pieces; select two sections and set the others aside. Twist one end of each piece around a pencil, creating a fun curl, then glue them to the top of the firefly body as antennae. \u003cimg title=\"Firefly-4\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2343\" alt=\"Summer Bulletin Board Idea for Preschool\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Firefly-4.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e4. Create the firefly \"head\" by cutting and pasting a student's picture to the firefly cutout.
