{Butterfly by Mia, Age 4} |
Mia made this cute and very simple craft at preschool and we decided to make a few more to decorate at home. The snow has to go away soon, but in the meantime, we have a cheery bit of spring indoors!

{My Dotty Butterfly Design} |
Materials:
- coffee filter
- Bingo markers (Ours came from Dollar Tree.)
- pipe cleaner
- scissors (optional)
- fishing line (optional)
Directions:
- Make a design for the butterfly's wings by dotting Bingo markers onto a coffee filter. (You can also use markers or watercolor paints if you don't have Bingo markers. One option is two color with washable markers and then spray the design with a water bottle to create a softer look.)
- Let the markers (or paint) dry.
- Pinch the coffee filter in the center and twist once.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half. Bend one half around the twisted center of the coffee filter and twist it to secure it. Shape into antennae. (If you prefer, you can use a whole pipe cleaner. You will just have fairly long antennae.)
- You can make a whole flutter of butterflies and hang them using fishing line if you wish.
