BUTTERFLIES!!!


Catch a butterfly and catch a song!
Hint to the kids...do not swipe the net like you're serving a tennis ball. The butterfly goes in the net, then the kids PULL the net toward them and voila...the butterfly slides off the clear string and is CAUGHT!!!
  • Plain no frills butterfly net ($1 section of the bullseye store!)
  • Embelished with sticky back glitter foam
  • A thick long dowel (long enough to fit in my "Magic Quilted Bag!"
  • Foam / Glitter Foam
  • White Duct tape
  • hot glue glue everything on tight!
  • clear craft string (the kind you make those keychains with:O)
  • Butterfly outline (I googled "butterfly template-outline-clipart)
  • cut out the butterfly's body
  • I free handed a the butterfly center body part
  • I punched 2 hole with my large punch
  • wiggle eyes big and small!
  • round styrofoam ball or ping-pong ball (for the nose) attached to the net...this helps capture the butterfly and slide off the string
  • Write a number (w/permanent marker) which corresponds with a song
Have fun!
