Learn About Butterflies Day - #KidsCrafts

DLTK's Crafts for Kids

Butterfly TP Roll Craft



The butterfly looks sort of like a monarch butterfly (except a bit more cheerful than the real deal). To see what a REAL monarch looks like, including a bunch of facts about their lives and habitat and a printable coloring page... visit Fun Facts for Kids. Close the window when done to return to this screen.

Materials:

  • toilet paper roll,
  • a printer,
  • paper,
  • scissors,
  • glue
  • something to color with (if you've opted for the B&W version).

Instructions:

  • 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).
  • Glue the wings onto the back of the tp roll.

Templates:

  • 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).
