Make butterflies with your kid

Your little one will surely like the funny craft!

You'll need:


  • several toilet paper tubes;
  • cardboard;
  • gouache, a brush, a jar of water;
  • chenille wire;
  • beads;
  • glue, scissors,
  • a stapler, an awl;
  • a black pen;
  • decorative eyes.

Paint the tubes with bright paints:

Cut out of the cardboard the butterflies' wings, also paint them in bright colours.

When the paints dry, attach the wings to the tubes with a stapler.

Make two holes in the top edge of the tube to craft the butterfly antennae of chenille wire.

Thread the beads to the antennae ends.

Glue the eyes, draw the smiles with a black pen. Decorate the wings - paint pretty patterns and spots.

Your butterflies are ready!

Make photos of the process, upload to the App. Write about your kid's impressions and his/her games with the new toys.
