Spring Butterfly #EarthDay Craft DIY

Ripped paper butterfly,

( if your child is younger you'll have to do some prep work).

Scissors

Glue/glitter glue or goolie eyes

Need Large Sizes black construction paper

scraps of colored paper

The first step is to cut out 2 butterfly shapes from the large black paper

one shape will stay full black the other you will cut out a wing pattern

Then have you child fill the solid black with the scraps of colored paper

Then you'll place the cut out butterfly over to revile the wing pattern

Use the glitter glue or google eyes to give your butterfly a face.

Here's one my son did...I've added decoupaged to the wings to give them a shine.

Paint Blot Butterfly

The is a very fun craft and turns out differently every time

You need

white paper

paint&brushes

black marker

First step is to fold the paper in half and draw a butterfly body-you can leave the middle blank if you want to add pipe cleaners as the body later.

next let your lil one go to town on one side of the body with paints

the last step is to fold the paper again and let the paint make the same pattern on the other side

REPEAT

REPEAT

REPEAT

Soon you have a whole cluster of butterflies all around.
