b is for butterfly

PA210012Mummy try to at least do two art crafts a week, even though it is really tiring after working hours from office…and some of the art or paper materials that needed to prepare for the kids. But, it is kind of tension releasing exercise too for mummy…
 
So, here is What You’ll Need:
  • Orange and black craft foam
  • transparency sheet or clear plastic sheet protector
  • white out
  • black sharpie
  • glue
  • scissors
PA210022 How to Make the ‘b’ for butterfly:
  1. Cut out a lowercase ‘b’ from a piece of black foam sheet. To make the letters go along with the uppercase letters we’ve done in the past, this letter was cut from a piece of foam that was about 4” x 4” ~ small, but oh so cute!
  2. From the excess black foam, cut out two antennae and the proboscis for the butterfly {what the butterfly uses to drink}. You can also add six legs if you’d like!
  3. Cut out the background for the butterfly’s wings using the orange craft foam.
  4. Lay the sheet protector over top of the orange wings and trace around the edge and cut out the overlay for the butterfly’s wings to the same size as your orange foam piece.
  5. Using the black sharpie, draw the veins for the butterfly’s wings onto the sheet protector.
  6. Let your little one dab white out onto the edge of the wings to make the white spots of a monarch.
  7. Glue or tape on the wings, antennae, and proboscis.
  8. Add a wiggle eye.

Like always…Belle will using black ball pen to scribble the round, round or circle, circle things on her art paper. Mummy do some modifications here as we do not have any clear protector sheet, thus just using the orange colour papers and black marker to draw out the wings veins. Surprisingly turn out very attractive.
