Colorful Butterflies

How we did it:
Materials List
- coffee filters
- markers
- water - in a spray bottle
- clothes pins
- pipe cleaners
-
Gather your materials. Make sure your markers are washable, otherwise they won’t bleed properly.
-
Color the coffee filter with markers. Use as many colors as you want and try to cover up all the white.
-
Place a paper plate or towel under the colored coffee filter. Use a spray bottle to spray the coffee filter with water. Watch how all of the colors run together! Let the coffee filter dry.
-
Once dry, gather the coffee filter in the middle with a pipe cleaner. Twist the pipe cleaner closed and make antennae. Clamp a clothespin over the middle to make the butterfly’s body. You can draw eyes or even a face on the clothespin, if you want!
