This is a pretty old arts and crafts project but kids still love it! Let them have a blast coloring their wings and then try to fly their home made butterflies around!
Materials
- coffee filters
- markers
- water - in a spray bottle
- clothes pins
- pipe cleaners
**Make sure your markers are washable, otherwise they won’t bleed properly.
Directions
- Color the coffee filter with markers. Use as many colors as you want and try to cover up all the white.
- Place a paper plate or towel under the colored coffee filter. Use a spray bottle to spray the coffee filter with water. Watch how all of the colors run together! Let the coffee filter dry.
- Once dry, gather the coffee filter in the middle with a pipe cleaner. Twist the pipe cleaner closed and make antennae. Clamp a clothespin over the middle to make the butterfly’s body. You can draw eyes or even a face on the clothespin, if you want!
