Get your kiddos in the spirit of spring with this easy butterfly craft idea. It’s a result of my oldest son playing around with some of the felt, yarn and other goodies left behind after a few Easter ideas we whipped up. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Felt
- Yarn
- Straw
- Lemonhead candy
- Craft glue
And here are the simple steps:
- Trim out the wings (we chose two colors) and glue them together in the center
- Cut a straw to lenth, wrap it with yarn and secure the yarn to the straw with a touch of glue
- Attach the body of the butterfly and the head (a Lemonhead candy) with another dolup of glue
Happy Monday and as always, I hope you’re inspired!
