Summer Project 8: Paper Plate Butterfly

 Butterflies are awesome!  I see them all of the time during the summer!  I also remember many of you introducing me to the butterflies you watched hatch in your classrooms last year!


You Will Need:
Paper plate
Toilet paper roll
Markers, colored pencils, crayons or paint
Scissors
Glue
Googly eyes (optional)
Pipe-cleaners, sticks or twigs


Directions:
1.  Paint or color the paper plate with any design you want. (I used blue circles.)
2.  Paint or color the toilet paper roll any color you want. (I used black.)
3.  Cut the paper plate in half for the butterfly wings. (I cut my paper plate in the middle but cut a wavy line.)
4.  Glue the wings on the toilet paper roll.  (Look at the picture below for help.)
5.  Add the eyes.  You can draw and color them or glue on googly eyes.
6.  Glue the sticks, twigs or pipe-cleaners between the eyes for antennae.
