Colorful Butterflies

I thought I would show you a cute craft that we did last week to welcome in spring. This kept my kids occupied for about an hour (and I enjoyed doing them too)!The supplies you will need are - coffee filters - markers - spray bottle with water - twisty ties or string.

Color one coffee filter with markers, making sure to cover most of the surface. Get creative and make pretty designs, but limit your colors. Too many different colors may lead to a brown butterfly.

Spray the filter with water until you see the colors blending. Hang or lay flat to dry.

After the filters are dry, pinch the middle together and tie off with a twisty tie. You can put two together or just use one. You can also use pipe cleaners and make flowers with these as well.

Happy coloring!
