Teaching about the latest events?

We used tissue paper in beautiful colors like white, yellow, red, green, blue, purple, red and orange tissue paper sheets. Step 2 The freedom to choose and place colored tissues stimulates children’s creativity and self-expression. This is fun for kids of all ages! Patience and Concentration Place the butterfly template on the laminated tissue paper, then trace it with a Sharpie marker. The large butterfly template is pictured below. After the wettest April in a hundred years the sun has finally made an appearance in my part of the world! Yay!!!

Place the butterfly cutout on a paper towel. Use the paintbrush to paint vegetable oil over the entire butterfly. Blot excess oil with a second paper towel. The oil will make the paper translucent, allowing a small amount of diffused light to pass through. To get kids more involved with the cutting stage let them make the holes in the wings using craft punches, or even a hole-punch. Using a light coloured pencil-crayon draw shapes onto the wings of the butterfly (if you use the printable template you can skip this bit). Then using a pair of scissors, or a craft, knife cut out the shapes. Most kids will probably need a hand with this step.

How does a suncatcher work? 

Suncatchers can really add a lot of brightness, fun, and color to a room. And when that suncatcher just so happens to be created by your child, you’re probably going to have your own “light beam” of pride right there in the mix. When the bubble wrap is dry, cut it into the shape of a butterfly’s wings, then put a small fold in it and secure with hot glue. Don’t be afraid to substitute what you might have on hand at home there are so many different ways and different looks that can make a beautiful 3D paper butterfly craft!
