Butterfly Mobile

How we did it:
Materials List
- pretty paper
- string or thread
- hole punch
- glue (optional)
- scissors
-
If you don't have fancy paper for this, by all means use construction paper for the spiral, and draw or paint your own butterflies.
-
Maddie chose the paper for her spiral, and after making it into a circle, she started making the spiral. She just started at one side, and cut her way into the center.
-
The paper she chose was printed on only one side, so she opted to make the other side fancy, as well. (This could be done before the cutting.)
-
To make the butterflies, she outlined the shapes, and cut them out.
-
She made some three-dimensional by making a small butterfly, then tracing a larger image of it onto a second pattern of paper.
-
She punched holes near the top of the butterflies and on the mobile, and tied thread ends to each.
-
See the way they flutter! Oh, we're so happy it's Spring!
