This is actually rather easy to accomplish with crafts. The reason that it is so easy is because you can learn all about various things while you are making the craft. All you have to is begin a discussion about the butterflies and their habitat before you start on the crafts.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some easy kid butterfly crafts that you can make with children from a variety of age groups.<\/p>\n<p>\t<strong>Butterfly Crown<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\t<em>Materials<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\tPink construction paper<br \/>\t2 pipe cleaners, any color but white looks great<br \/>\tPencil<br \/>\tScissors<br \/>\tTape<br \/>\tTissue paper or Kleenex, any color combination<br \/>\tThread, preferably white<\/p>\n<p>\t<em>Instructions<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\t<\/p>\n<li>Draw 4 butterflies on the construction or use a template to trace 4 butterflies onto the construction paper<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tCut the butterflies out of the construction paper<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tCut 2 or 3 strips of construction paper that are 4&#8243; wide and as long as you can make them<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tTape the pieces end to end so that you make a really long piece<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tUse it to measure the child&#8217;s head and trim off the excess paper, just make sure you don&#8217;t tape it yet<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tMake tissue paper flowers and tape them to the front of the crown<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tTissue Paper Flowers<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tStack 4 squares of 4&#8243;x4&#8243; squares of tissue paper on top of each other<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tFan (accordion) fold the tissue paper<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tTie tightly in the center with a piece of thread<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tSeparate the layers one at a time<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tRoll a piece of scotch tape to use to attach the flower to the front of the crown<\/li>\n<p>\t<\/p>\n<li>\tMake a spring with the pipe cleaners by wrapping them around a pencil.
