Getting Ready for Butterflies


So next week we will be diving into learning about other insects. One of my favorite art projects are these stained glass butterflies. An adult traces the outline of the butterfly on 2 12x18 inch pieces of black paper, then cuts out the inside shapes. The students use starch to adhere strips of tissue onto wax paper, then glue the butterfly pieces onto the outside of it. An adult cuts the completed butterflies out when they are dry. I know it is heavy on the adult work, but they look beautiful in the windows!
