Get ready to explore the dazzling world of animals that sparkle, shimmer, and shine! We’ll dive into stunning pictures and real preserved specimens that show off nature’s glittery secrets—from iridescent beetles to shimmering wings.

Then, unleash your creativity by painting your very own beetle picture using natural mica glitter that glows and glimmers just like the real thing. Take your sparkling masterpiece home and keep the magic of nature shining bright all summer long!
