Paper plate butterfly

Tara asked to do some painting in the sunshine as it had been a wet week so all i could find around the house was a toilet roll and paper plate so we created a butterfly.

After painting the roll and plate we spoke about butterfly antennae and how they use them as a nose, Tara pretended her piggy tails were antennae.

We then added coloured matchsticks to the wings and spoke about symmetry so she made sure the colours were symmetrical

Tara then used sticky tape to hold the wings and body together, added the antennae and glued some eyes on

The finished result was flitter fluttering around our house for days!
