Hopping Good Butterflies

You'll Need

Your children will be "hopping" to do this activity! Have each child stand on a piece of light colored construction paper. Trace their shoes onto the paper with the pencil. Cut out footprints and let children decorate them. While they are busy coloring, cut out the bodies of butterflies out of the black construction paper. Using a glue stick, glue their footed "wings" onto the body. Cut pipe cleaners in half, then half again. Curl one end and tape them to the back (for antennas). Hang your "hopping" butterflies and enjoy! **Note**I did most of the work for this project, just allowing them to color their feet. Older children can do more, so let them! Also, I used a silver gel pen to write their names vertically on the black bodies. The silver really shows up and looks great!
