Note: Y

ou can

complete th

sing food colouring instead

of w

ashable m

owever! I fin

d this o

ption

to be very

messy

so would not do it w

ith young children

(if they get fo

od colouring on their clo

thing you won't be ab

le

to get it o

ut). I w

ould only use th

is option with children

over ag

e 10 and even then would want a g

ood am

Instru

ctions:

able m

arkers. (I try

to just let

the kids do what th

ey lik

e... younger ch

ildren

will b

e a bit

more ran

dom and that's o

k)

• Use a sq

uirt b

ottle to

spray

the co

ffee filter 2 or 3 tim

es.

• I lik

e to squirt rig

ht in

the cen

ter of th

e filter and then sit an

d watch

the w

ater wick

the co

lours o

(this tak

es 4 or 5 minutes)

• Young children

orks, b

ut it w

on't tu

rn out quite as p

retty (th

e

colours ten

d to blen

d too much if y

ou soak the filter) T

o help

prev

ent th

is, encourag

e them

to squirt it ju

st once

in the m

iddle an

d watch

for a b

it for so

they can

see the process u

nfold. Y

ou can

always ad

it doesn

minutes o

• Let d

ry (th

is takes ab

out 1/2 an hour, b

ut w

ill take lo

nger if th

• Scru

nch the co

ffee filter so you can

wrap

• Twist th

e pipeclean

er to hold the co

ffee filter tightly.

Leav

e the en

ds of th

gth.

• Trim

the pipeclean

e (we to

ok off ab

out 2 inches) so

the an

tenna are th

e length you lik

e and the

pipeclean

er ends are m

atching len

gths.

• Curl th

e pipeclean

er (if you lik

e) to make nice an

tenna

• Fluff th

erfectly lovely little b

utterfly

!

Ideas fo

• You can

hang your creatio

mobile. I lik

e to hang my mobiles fro

he

wants to
