We had some Winter weather today which forced us to play inside this afternoon.

Supplies you will need:
Directions:
1.
Draw butterfly wings on contact paper
Start by cutting off a sheet of contact paper to make your butterfly.
Trace them with your permanent marker.
I didnt want a washable marker to smudge on the paint on my wall.)
(Tip:We frequently use tissue paper squares in projects throughout the year.
I always dump the leftover scraps in a Ziplock bag for rainy day projects like this.
We have such a nice collection of colors from all our projects.
I didnt have to cut any tissue paper squares today making the prep for this activity even simpler!)
After a while our pipe cleaners started to fall off, so we reinforced them with clear tape.
You might want to do that right off the bat.
The great thing about this activity is that it doesnt have to be done all at once.
My daughter worked for a little while then decided she wanted to play something else.
After a while she came back and put on more tissue paper squares.
She worked on it off and on all afternoon.
Each child is so different!
One child might work for 10 minutes a day for an entire week on it.
Really, its open ended and just what your child wants to create.
The end result is really stunning!
Its colorful and bright and its like a real piece of artwork on the wall.
Its perfect for Spring!
