Valentine's Day Butterfly

Valentine's Day is coming up and my 4 year old always makes things for the family on holidays. This year for Valentine's Day she made butterflies. I was so proud of her, she made them mostly on her own. I created two heart templates, one large and one small. She then traced the hearts on red paper and cut them out. Next she glued them together. She put the small one on top and upside down. Then she took the toilet paper roll and covered it in a purple paper she cut out. She then glued the body of the butterfly on to the two hearts and added a face. I helped her cut the pipe cleaner in half and then she twisted each one around her finger about 3 times to make them curl. I then wrote out Happy Valentine's Day on a piece of scratch paper and she copied it on to her butterflies. Now for Valentine's to hurry up so that she can hand all these out...

Items needed for this project:

2 different colors of paper
Toilet paper roll
Pen
Scissors
Pipe cleaners
Tape and/or glue
