Make Your Butterfly Craft for Kids
To make your own cupcake wrapper butterfly craft for kids, you’ll need wooden clothespins, cupcake wrappers, googly eyes, and glue. That’s it! You probably already have everything you need lying around the house right now.
So, gather up all of the supplies and lay them out on the table. Then let your kids take the reins on this project. It’s so simple, they can do it all on their own!
First, glue a pair of googly eyes on top of the clothespins. I love these adorable colorful googly eyes. They’re perfect for this project! But traditional black and white eyes would look great, too.
Next, flatten out all the cupcake wrappers you’ll be using. I love these cute polka dot cupcake wrappers I found. They’re just perfect for spring! They came in lots of different spring colors, including pink, blue, and yellow!
To make the wings for your butterfly craft for kids, lay the flattened cupcake wrappers together with the sides slightly overlapping. Then, pick up the wrappers and pinch the overlapped sides together between your fingers.
Grab the clothespin and clip it over the pinched area to finish your butterfly craft for kids! See how simple that is? The perfect way to occupy your little ones this summer!
And with so many cupcake wrapper styles available, the possibilities are endless with this cute craft. Your kids can create all types of different butterflies using the cupcake wrappers you have at home.
