Napkin Butterflies

As our last part of Summer week (and to mark the very first day of summer!), we made some butterflies out of napkins and food coloring:

We set up some food coloring in little containers and then used some droppers to drop the food coloring onto the napkins:

When finished, it should look like this:

We then took a black pipe cleaner and wrapped it around the middle of the napkin and curled the top parts over to make it look like antennae:

A few googly eyes, a craft stick (originally I had tried gluing the craft stick to the pipe cleaner but then I found that wrapping the pipe cleaner around the craft stick made it a lot sturdier), and some drawn eyelashes and a mouth (per Monkey J's request) = one beautiful butterfly!

Monkey J loved his butterfly and walked around the house with it giving it a hug:

Here is Monkey A's butterfly!

Have you made some craft butterflies with your little ones?  How'd they turn out and what materials did you use?
