This is an activity you can do with your child or grandchild. I think my grandson would like it if he would slow down long enough to try.
- Hold a clothespin to the computer screen and trace a rectangle shape with your mouse for the butterfly body.
- On each side of the body, draw and decorate a large wing. Use the copy and flip functions on your computer to make equal sides.
- Then print out your butterfly, colour it, and add decorations.
- Glue the uncoloured side to construction paper and cut it out.
- Glue the underpart of the body to a clothespin and fold the wings up.
- Glue a folded twist tie at the top of the closed end for an antennae.
Now find a nice warm place to display those butterflies.
