{Butterfly by Mia, age 4 (with wings cut by Mama)} |
Materials:
- cardboard tube
- scissors
- tissue paper
- pipe cleaners
- tape
- googly eyes
- construction paper
- Mod Podge (or glue)
- foam paint brush (if using Mod Podge)
- other decorative items: feathers, pom poms, beads, etc.
Directions:
- Cut strips of tissue paper (or construction paper) and use Mod Podge (or glue) to adhere the strips around a cardboard tube. We used the tube from an aluminum foil carton, but a paper towel or toilet paper tube would also work.
- Cut wings from construction paper. Tape wings onto the back of the tube once the Mod Podge or glue is dry.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half. Curl one end of each half for the butterfly antennae. Attach to the inside of the tube with tape.
- Glue two googly eyes onto the front of the tube.
- Decorate the butterfly's wings as desired. Mia used strips of tissue paper, feathers, and pom poms, but you could use just about anything.
