Paper Plate Butterflies

We went to our local Shopping Centre this week and made Paper Plate animals with the kids.  They all enjoyed making the butterflies, especially punching the holes and covering with cellophane.

What you will need: Paper plate, pieces of coloured/textured paper, Pop stick, hole punch, cellophane, glue, sticky tape.

What you will need to do: Cut the paper plate into quarters. Using two of the quarters sticky tape them together, making the butterfly wings. Use the glue to attach the pop stick to the wings.  Punch holes in the wings using the hole punch.  Glue cellophane over the holes (on the back side).  Using pieces of coloured paper or card, alfoil, tissue paper etc, decorate your butterfly.
