Celebrate wildlife and warm tropical weather! Cut and color a flock of these bright winged creatures!

Supplies:

CIY Staff

Steps:

1

1 Fold two sheets of black construction paper in half. Use Crayola Scissors to cut the outline of a butterfly. Open the sheets to see your butterfly wings’ shape.

2

2 Close the wings. Cut out shapes inside the wings, leaving a black margin between each interior shape. Make sure both layers match.

3

3 Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach one of the butterfly layers to tracing paper.

4

4 With Crayola Washable Markers, color the back of the tracing paper so the bright colors show through the butterfly wings.

5

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.
