Craft Materials

1. I prepared this craft ahead of time while the kids were eating. I gathered all the supplies and put them in my tray so everything can be seen and reachable.

PREPARATION (10 min)

2. Next I drew out the shapes of the wings and inner wings for the butterflies. I used as much of one sheet of construction paper as I could to make that one section of the wing.

3. Four wing sections were used for each butterfly and I cut them all at once to save time.

4. Next a drew out and cut a smaller inner wing section as well.

1. I started by spreading the brown paper on the table and taping the edges. 2. I taped two paper towel rolls together.

PAINTING THE BUTTERFLY BODY

3. I allowed the kids to paint the paper towel roll however they liked.

4. Then we put those rolls aside for drying.
