Butterflies

I read Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", we make squish painted butterflies where you drop paint on the paper and let them fold it in half and squish it together. We make butterflies from our hand prints and attatch| them to a craft stick, then paint a toilet paper tube brown and fold the butterflies wings around to it fits in the tube, (it looks like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. I also did the life cycle of a butter fly using rice for the larva, twisty pasta for the caterpillar, shell pasta for the crysalis, and bowtie pasta for the butterfly. I let them color on coffee filters with markers | |
and them spray them down with water so the colors run together. When they dry we pinch them up in the middle and attatch them to a clothes pin, wrap a pipe cleaner to then end for antennea!
Have fun, good luck...hope that helped get the ball rolling!
