Discover how to make torn paper butterflies using construction paper, craft sticks and school glue. A delightful craft for all ages!

Craft Supplies:

Making torn paper butterflies is a low-cost and mess-friendly activity. Most of the following items can probably already be found around your home:

Directions:

Follow these simple steps to guide your children through creating their own unique torn paper butterflies:

  • First things first – download and print out the FREE provided large butterfly printable listed above, on a single piece of white cardstock paper.
  • Next up, help your child cut/tear their various colors of construction paper into small pieces.
  • Now have them use school glue to secure those pieces inside the “butterfly wings” in the printout.
  • Once they are done filling in their designs, help them trim out the butterfly. Discard excess paper.
  • The final step is to have kids add their popsicle stick “thorax” to the center of their torn paper design, as well as some antennas.
  • When they are done decorating their torn construction paper butterfly designs, allow the finished design to dry completely before displaying.

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!
