In May nosotros are spotlighting books past times Eric Carle! Last calendar week nosotros shared a fun Very Hungry Caterpillar Name Game as well as today nosotros are excited to portion a elementary butterfly arts and crafts inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar past times Eric Carle.
This was seriously the easiest action e'er as well as nosotros loved reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar mass over as well as over i time to a greater extent than AND watching the film on Netflix too.
To brand these cardboard butterflies all y'all postulate is...
- strip of cardboard
- sequins
- large slice of structure paper
- scissors
- do-a-dot markers (or markers or paint)
- white glue
- colored structure paper
- googly eyes
While I was working amongst my preschoolers on our Very Hungry Caterpillar Name Game I needed to exceed on my toddlers occupied... thus I grabbed unopen to do-a-dot markers as well as large pieces of structure newspaper as well as told the toddlers to outset icon on the paper.
Here's how nosotros made our sparkly cardboard butterflies...
Once the large structure newspaper was covered inwards pigment as well as dried, I folded each newspaper inwards one-half as well as cutting it to brand butterfly wings.
Next the kids helped gum their large strip of cardboard downwardly the middle of the butterfly to brand a butterfly body.
After that nosotros added gum as well as the kids covered their butterflies amongst sequins as well as googly eyes.
We shook the sparkles all over their gum as well as and thus nosotros added footling strips of newspaper to the top of the butterfly heads to brand antennae as well as and thus nosotros allow our projects dry!
Once they dried nosotros shook off the sparkles as well as had beautiful sparkly butterflies!
