Why

Recycling and coloring—two of kids' favorite activities—are both in the bag with these beautiful butterfly sacks. They're great for gift bags, Earth Day, or nature hikes.

Steps

1. 1. Decorate all sides of a clean brown paper lunch or grocery sack with butterfly pictures. Use Crayola® Twistables. Draw pictures of real butterflies or invent your own species to flutter on the bag.
2. 2. Personalize the bag with messages for gift giving, reminders to recycle, or to promote special butterfly days.
