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). Print the Life Cycle of a Butterfly labels (linked above) and have the children cut apart. 1. 2. 3. 4. Activités pour le Préscolaire: Une coccinelle printanière fait à partir d'un bouchon d'aérosol.

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. Faire un nid d'oiseau avec des assiettes en carton. Petit nid d’oiseau, bricolage pour enfants.

Spring Kid's Craft

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.
