Balloon Butterfly Card Craft Idea

THIS BALLOON CRAFT IS FOR OLDER CHILDREN. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT BALLOONS CAN BE A CHOKING HAZARD AND SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THEM. AGAIN, I REPEAT. THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR OLDER CHILDREN & ADULT SUPERVISION IS STILL ADVISED.

Craft Supplies:

  • Latex Balloons – 1 per craft
  • Large Glue Dots/Tape
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Small Wiggle Eyes
  • Scissors
  • Markers
  • Stickers/Embellishments

Directions:

  • First grab a single sheet of cardstock paper.
  • Next grab your balloon {one per butterfly wings card} and use glue dots to secure it to the center of the paper. This will create the body of the balloon butterfly {if glue dots don’t work – use tape or foam adhesive instead.} You will want the larger part of the balloon to be facing up, to be the head of the butterfly, while the longer part is the body.
  • Once the balloon is secure to the card front, go ahead and grab your remaining cardstock.
  • Cut out heart shaped pieces to be the wings of the butterfly.
  • To finish off the Balloon Butterfly Cards, glue your cardstock elements to the card front.
  • Then draw on antennas with your markers and glue on wiggle eyes to the balloon. If you like, add stickers or glitter to the wings for a fun look.
  • Now add other embellishments you see fit before gifting away proudly!!!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
