I knew it was supposed to rain today so I tried to think back to my student teaching in Kindergarten days for a quick Springy and simple craft to do during play date. I also wanted to come up with something that I had all the ingredients for. Coffee filter butterflies! So easy – I didn’t even have to help. (much)
First, the kids use markers to color on the coffee filter.
Then they use a spray bottle with to spray water all over it until it is soaked.
Then you let it dry completely. (which surprisingly doesn’t take very long). When it’s dry – you just bunch it up in a clothes pin. I put a pipe cleaner antennae on it (just pinched it in the pin) and a magnet on the back – but you really don’t have to do that. (see …I did help a little) Then the kids flew them around a bit. It was super easy and I think they turned out really really cute. Very nice for spring.
