Watercolor Butterfly Craft

By Jennifer Patera September 27, 2020


Supplies:

  • Coffee Filters
  • Markers (washable are a plus)
  • Spray bottles with water
  • Paper towels
  • Pipe Cleaners

Directions:

  1. Have children color the filter.  The more colors they use, the more colorful their butterfly will be.
  2. Place a paper towel or two under the filter.
  3. Spray filter with water until the entire filter is wet (but not soaked).
  4. Gather filter in the center and wrap the pipe cleaner around the middle.  Twist at the top, leaving about 3 inches of pipe cleaner at the top.  Wrap the pipe cleaner around a finger to make curly antennae.
