Coffee Filter Butterfly Craft

Another fun summer afternoon activity!  This idea is from this blog post.   

Supplies needed:
coffee filters
markers
spray bottles filled with water
clothespins
pipecleaners
googly eyes

Step 1: Color the coffee filters with markers.  Spray with a little water (not too much) so the colors run together a little.  Let dry. 

Step 2: Scrunch the middle of the filter and add a clothespin.  Hot-glue on some googly eyes.  Cut a pipecleaner in half and twist it into an antenna shape.  You can hot-glue that into place, too, although we haven't yet.  Kate added little mouths with markers.
