To make this butterfly, you will need some thin card, a craft knife a pencil, a cutting mat and a picture of a butterfly to copy.
Fold the card in half and draw half the butterfly and some shapes to make the pattern on the butterfly’s wings.
Cut out the shapes using the craft knife – cut through both layers of card.
Cut around the outside of your butterfly.
If you don’t have a craft knife you can use a small pair of scissors and make your design a bit simpler.
Here are some other insects I have made. Mrs. Madden
These are lovely Mrs Madden. My daughter is learning about butterflies at the moment so we will give this activity a go. Thank you.
I think I will try making one of these in the Easter holidays Mrs Madden! 🙂
