Rainforest Butterfly
Celebrate wildlife and warm tropical weather! Cut and color a flock of these bright winged creatures!
1. Fold two sheets of black construction paper in half. Use Crayola® Total Tools™ Ultimate Cutter™ to cut the outline of a butterfly. Open the sheets to see your butterfly wings’ shape.
2. Close the wings. Cut out shapes inside the wings, leaving a black margin between each interior shape. Make sure both layers match.
3. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach one of the butterfly layers to tracing paper.
4. With Crayola Washable Markers, color the back of the tracing paper so the bright colors show through the butterfly wings.
5. Glue the other butterfly shape to the back of the tracing paper, matching the first one.
6. Create a body with legs from chenille stems. Twist it on the butterfly. Fold up the wings for a 3-D effect.
