Spring has sprung, and what better way to celebrate the season of renewal and growth than by crafting a fluttering friend to accompany your kids on their outdoor adventures?
Today’s butterfly wand craft tutorial is a simple yet enchanting project that allows children to express their creativity and immerse themselves in the delightful theme of spring!
By combining a few simple materials with a dash of imagination, you’ll transform paper into a symbol of wonder that can be used for imaginative play, as a spring decoration, or as a prop for a nature-themed performance.
Craft Supplies:
- White Cardstock Paper
- Butterfly Printable – on our landing page
- Crayons/Markers
- Scissors
- Crepe Paper
- Wavy Popsicle Stick – one per wand
- Stapler
- Embellishments
Directions:
- First things first – print out the blank butterfly template, listed above, on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per butterfly craft.
- Next up – color/decorate the printable however you choose.
- When done, trim it out and discard excess paper.
- At this point in time you should also add on some antennas and googly eyes.
- Now grab your crepe paper and tear/cut off three long stripes.
- The final step for this wand craft is to staple the three crepe paper pieces to the bottom of the decorated butterfly cutout and then staple that combination to one end of your wavy popsicle stick. You should be able to hold the other end and the butterfly stay in place.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit and then “wave” your butterfly piece all over to give it the appearance that it is flying through the air.
