Beautiful Butterflies!

Today was a Special Day! My sister SherryBerry and niece Laneybug came to visit. They live an hour and half away so we don't see them too often. First we took Laneybug to this great new park to play. When we got home I asked the kiddos what they wanted to do and of course they wanted to do a project. I then asked Laneybug what kind of craft she wanted and she said "beautiful butterflies". After making a few butterflies, they also wanted to make caterpillars to go with the butterflies.

First Laneybug drew the caterpillars for everyone. I drew the butterflies, had I know that Laneybug could do it I would have had her make them too.

Then each of the kiddos cut out their own butterfly and caterpillar.

Then they painted using Pepperell Crafts Rollitt paint. It reminds of of the old roll on deodorant and they really like using it.

Then they added dots using Do A Dot. We also love these, we call them bingo dabbers.

Then we added another texture buy squeezing on glue that's had food coloring added to it. I love this because it dries on bumped up and shiny. All kids LOVE squeezing out glue and they are allowed to this way. I think using cardboard (like cereal box) would be best for younger kids who would pour alot in one area.

Look how pretty they turned out!
