Butterfly Place-Mats

After some fun re-enacting the life stages of a butterfly using our tents, tunnels, and fairy wings:


We made our Butterfly poster (Monkey J actually lined up the letters in the correct order and glued them down to the poster all by himself.  Something just 6 weeks ago he could not do!)



We made our way outdoors to make some butterfly foot-prints:


Fortunately my mother was here to assist in Monkey A's foot because she is a wiggly little one ;)  We had them choose three colors and painted the bottoms of their feet:


Then stamped them on (you actually want to do reverse feet; the right foot in the left foot's spot and the left foot in the right foot's spot):


I then filled in the butterfly's body and antenna:



And covered them in contact paper:


These will be our meal place-mats for the week:


And because they are covered in clear contact paper, they will also be a sweet memory for me to keep as well :)
