Coffee Filter Butterflies

Callie was begging to paint something, so I threw this together really fast. I am going to be starting a unit on bugs/insects this week, so I thought it would fit in perfectly. I pulled out our stash of coffee filters and our spray bottles containing liquid watercolors. The kids had a blast spraying the filters. We had to let them dry the rest of the day before we could scrunch them together with a pipe cleaner to make the butterfly. They were really into painting the filters and made a ton of them. You can see from the bottom pic that we only made a couple into butterflies before they tired of that! (For anyone wanting to know, the liquid watercolors can be bought at Discount School Supply. There is a button for it in the left column of my blog. They are a little pricey, but are so worth it because the colors are amazing! They also last a long time.)



Josh wanted to stack all of his on top of each other.



All done!
