These butterfly rolls are gigantic fun as once they are finished they are bigger than life and make great hand held puppets. Prep time is short and the crafty toddlers can paint / decorate to their hearts content...
Here is a list of things that you need to make your Butterfly Rolls:
/ Toilet roll inner
/ Paper or card
/ Paints
/ PVA glue
/ Glitter
/ Sequins
/ Stapler
/ Pipe cleaner.
Follow these steps with your crafty toddler to make these butterfly rolls:
1/ Cut out the basic shape of a butterfly wings. Best way to do this is to fold you paper in half draw a big, rounded 'm' along the fold line, make sure one part of the 'm' is smaller than the other
Top tip: we found that 80gm paper was a bit flimsy for this activity, causing our wings to sag, so suggest using some think paper or card (say 120gsm)
2/ Paint and decorate the butterfly wings and toilet roll, leave to dry
Top tip: add some PVA glue to the paint to help glitter and sequins stick, save on separate glue activity
/ Staple the wings on to the toilet roll, make sure the arms of the staples are secure
/ Bend the pipe cleaner in bald and then staple to the toilet roll again make sure the arms of the staples are secure.
Top tip: I find putting a strip of cellotape over the top of any staples used avoids any cuts or scrapes
