Valentine Butterfly Craft
|
 |
This Valentine Butterfly craft is made with a toilet paper roll, a printer,
paper, scissors, glue and something to color with (if you've opted for the B&W
version).
You can seal the bottom the this toilet paper roll craft (just glue on a circle of
paper). Then fill it with cinnamon hearts (or other candies) and seal to top.
What a cool way to give a Valentine's treat to a friend!
 | Print out the template of choice
|
| Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.
|
| Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
|
| Glue on the head and the six hands (have the children count the hands. Butterflies
have 6 legs).
|
| Color and cut the wings template (you'll need to print two)
 | Glue the hearts together (biggest to smallest).
|
| Have your child sort biggest to smallest as an educational activity (for 3 year olds)
|
| If you are precutting everything, you may prefer to cut out your own hearts from
construction paper instead of using the wings template (it's quicker to fold construction
paper and cut than it is to cut out the templates). But if you're giving your child
practice with scissors, then the templates are great.
|
|
| Glue the wings onto the back of the tp roll.

| Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
|
| Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE,
PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). |
