Primary Subject - Art
Secondary Subjects -
Grade Level - 1
Materials:
pipe cleaners
egg cartons
construction paper
markers
paint
fuzzy balls
Activity:
Take egg cartons and cut them in half. Let children have one side for their butterfly. Next let them paint it any color they want and let dry. That will be the middle part of the butterfly. Next, take a piece of construction paper, fold it in half and cut out a heart shape. Now put the painted egg carton piece in the middle of the heart shape. The students can also put other colors on the heart shape wings in smaller and smaller size hearts. It does not necessarily have to be heart shaped wings they can make them more like other shapes if they desire. Now take an extra 2 single egg holders from the cardboard egg container to make 2 eyes. Put those on the front of your butterfly. Now, glue on whatever colored pipe cleaners you desire for antennas and you can add fuzzy balls on the end of those if you want. The end result is a cute colorful butterfly.
Extension:
This would be a great craft to make after reading the Hungry Caterpillar book to kids. These could then be hung from string from the ceiling of the classroom. Remember they will all be different and yet very beautiful and colorful!!
