Larger Butterfly Crafts Pre-cooked Tray To begin the butterfly mobile craft for kids, you and your child lay out all the
supplies and read the instructions. Use the shrinky dink plastics to trace the butterflies that are already draft for you on the
butterfly crafts paper. Now color the butterflies using the colored pencils
included. You also have a pencil sharpener if needed. Then cut the butterfly crafts out using the scissors included.
In the image you see the butterfly crafts supplies layed out, with partially colored butterflies already cut out by kids.
Larger Butterfly Craft Pre-cooked Tray
Using a brown paper bag, carefully place the butterflies on top and heat only 1-3 minutes in the pre-heated oven.
If your oven has a light and a see through
window, let your child watch through as the butterfly crafts shrink!
Larger Butterfly Mobile Craft Assemble your butterfly mobile craft using the silver plastic twirling paper included.
This is a shimmery paper like tin foil and it will catch light as it hangs making everything sparkle.
Some holes a pre-punched but you can add more if you like. There is plenty of butterfly crafts string to hang
more butterflies if your little one colored extras.
SO YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE?NO! Hang up your butterfly mobile craft and sit below and
read the Caterpillars and Butterflies book included!
How do caterpillars turn into butterflies? What do butterflies eat? What is a moth? In this book you'll find the answers
and lots more about these fascinating insects. Caterpillars and butterflies is part of an exciting new series of books
for children who are beginning to read on their own. The easy-to-read text has been specailly written with the help of
a reading expert.
TEACHERS SUGGESTION:
You can get one or two packages of our butterfly mobile craft for your class. Have all your students create the
butterflies in class.
Then you take the butterfly crafts drawings home to cook and shrink. Bring them back to class the next day to
assemble with student help and you will have a wonderful sparkly butterfly mobile craft to hang in your class!
Note: you will need to puncture a few more holes in the spinning mobile to hang extra butterflies. If you are looking for a
preschool butterfly craft, this works especially well because the children are so fascinated with butterflies at that age. But we have seen
this used from preschool through teenagers!
My son spent hours on this! Aug, 2006

My son spent hours coloring each butterly and his eyes were so wide when we pulled the little butterflies out
of the oven and he saw how they shrank!
