Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Butterfly Puppet
card board
glue
craft scraps
construction paper
markers
stapler
I pre-traced the shape of a butterfly on pieces of stiff card (I used the back of pads of paper i had saved, paper plates would work too) and placed them at the table with scraps of construction paper, glue, markers and coloured tissues. The kids decorated the butterfly as they wished and cut it out then folded it in half with the coloured side in. Then I helped then staple loops for handles on the back. The loops were about 3 inches long and were placed outwards from the folded line so that you place your fingers and thumb into either loop and by opening and closing your hand, you make the butterfly fly. Each butterfly was unique and beuatiful in its own way!
