More butterflies…

While research butterfly activities I cam across this beautiful project. I knew we couldn’t do exactly the same thing since I didn’t want to spend money on that awesome Martha Stewart butterfly punch or on canvas, and hot glue isn’t a standard part of our crafting activities yet, but I wanted to try something similar. Yesterday we painted paper. Easy peasy.

This afternoon we started cutting out butterflies. I thought this would be fun, but turns out the kids were pretty bored. I think we all would have had more fun with the butterfly punch :) I was thinking of a beautiful mobile or something with the butterflies, but since only one side was painted I decided that wouldn’t be as beautiful as I’d imagined. Then I was thinking of chaining them together… but we ended out getting out the glue instead. Give my kids a good glue stick and some paper (or not) and they are happy crafters!

Cutting butterflies. Not quite as fun as a punch, but I enjoyed it.
