Easter Egg Fireflies, Easter Crafts For Kids. Spring Kid's Craft. Hello! Kristen here with a fun craft for kid's! These cute, crafty and earth friendly toilet paper roll butterflies are so colorful, and easy to make. You could make just one, or a big flock of them. They are sure to brighten any spot you put them. First, you will need: Bobunny dot cardstock, a toilet paper roll, Bobunny double dot ribbon, googly eyes, a 1.5 inch flower punch and a 1/2 inch circle punch, and adhesives. To create the base of the butterfly, I cut a piece of cardstock into a 4.25 x 5.25 inch rectangle.

Next, cut two 3 inch strips of ribbon. Now we can work on the wings. Trace the wing pattern onto cardstock, and cut out. To finish the butterfly, place adhesive along the middle of the wings, and adhere to the back of the finished tube. Hope you enjoy my fast and fun butterfly project! Kristen. Activités pour le Préscolaire: Une coccinelle printanière fait à partir d'un bouchon d'aérosol. D'une facilité désarmante, j'ai fait une coccinelle à partir du bouchon du contenant de crème à raser que j'ai vidé cette semaine. Aucun gaspillage!

On recyle. J'ai simplement collé des pompons noirs pour les pois, des yeux mobiles et deux bouts de ficelle noire pour les antennes. J'avais déjà en ma possession des fleurs et des feuilles de feutrines. J'ai donc collé la coccinelle sur les feuilles pour qu'elle puisse s'y reposer et profiter du joli soleil printanier (dans mes rêves). :) Bon bricolage!

Transforming Preschool “BAND AID” love into a Butterfly’s Life Cycle! Using band Aids for a Butterfly’s Life Cycle Most kids WANT to use band aids (even for those imaginary “ouchies” that sometimes arise!) While our kids were in a particularly long phase of “band aid love,” we transformed the interest into a “Butterfly’s Life Cycle” (and practiced our fine motor skills with all of the peeling and sticking). Materials needed per craft: One paper plate, 2 colored band aid strips, 3 circle band aids, 1 fingertip butterfly band aid, 1 small white gauze pad and first aid tape (or the children can roll two regular band-aid strips for the pupa stage), markers or crayons, scissors, glue sticks, and one life cycle printable - Life Cycle of a Butterfly Help the children draw lines to divide their paper plate into 4 sections (or do prior to the activity). 1. 2. 3. 4. After discussing the 4 Stages of a Butterfly, have the children place the circle band aids (eggs) at the top (left corner) of the paper plate.

Activités pour le Préscolaire: Couronne printanière en papier - Spring paper tiara. PLEASE NOTE, this blog post is written in ENGLISH and FRENCH. Here is a fun and colorful Spring paper crown to make with kids. Voici une couronne printanière colorée et amusante à faire avec les enfants. Fold 3 sheets of green construction paper and fold them in half. Then, cut strips starting from the fold and leave a border of 1 inch. Pliez 3 feuilles vertes de papier construction et pliez-les en deux.

We made Origami Fortune Teller as the flowers. Nous avons fait les fleurs avec des coin-coin. To create the leaves, we folded green sheets in 4 and we cut a leaf shape, starting from the fold. Pour les feuilles, nous avons plié des feuilles vertes en quatre et avons découpé une forme de feuille, en partant du pli. Your Spring paper crown is done! Votre couronne printanière est terminée! Bugs. We had fun today being inspired by the famous Eric Carle book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar".

I've seen some awesome caterpillar prints around blog land lately using a balloon and thought my boys would really enjoy this technique. Before we actually painted our caterpillars we had fun making one out of our balloons first. Don't you just love how kids find joy in the simplest of things?? Anyways, on to our balloon painted caterpillar. Here is mine pictured below. Simply dab a small balloon into paint and place it onto your paper. While we waited for the caterpillar to dry we had fun watching some You Tube videos of caterpillar's transforming into butterflies.

Then we came back to our caterpillars and added some finishing touches like eyes, nose, antennae, lets. I love that my children are very artistic! And this is why I enjoy creating things with my children. I also printed out these cute Very Hungry Caterpillar size sequencing pictures from 1+1+1=1. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Happy Crafting!!
