Butterfly Costume Wings
With spring comes butterflies!
How to make butterfly wings:
Fold a sheet of poster board in half and cut out a wing shape.
We decorated this one with watercolor paint.
Once the paint dries, punch two holes near the center at the top, and two more holes at the bottom. Take a length of ribbon and poke it through the holes to make arm straps.
It’s one continuous piece of ribbon tied in a loop so kids can put on the wings like a back pack.
I first saw this at a birthday party, and there is nothing sweeter than a bunch of little girls pretending to be butterflies. For a party activity, you might want to have the wings cut out ahead of time, and if the idea of several little girls painting together sounds like more than you want to get into, decorate the wings with stickers instead.
Welcome spring!
