Coffee filter butterflies

Here's a super quick craft, using a household supply almost everyone has on hand!


You will need:

• Disposable coffee filters
• Paints (my daughter wanted to use Do-a-Dots, but watercolors would work fabulously here!)
• Pipe cleaners in any color (twisty ties that come in boxes of garbage bags would work here as well!)
• Newspaper... not pictured, but I quickly discovered this was a necessity! :)
  

Spread out a coffee filter.


Line some newspaper underneath and let your little one paint away!


The dot paints dried VERY quickly, and we were able to make a "butterfly" using our pipe cleaners in no time at all. Just scrunch the filter up in the middle, wrap a pipe cleaner around it (you don't even need a whole one), and twist at the top for the "antennae."


Happy springtime!
