These Spring Projects for Preschoolers were developed with the idea that even the youngest little hands could participate in making the project.
 | Coffee Filter Butterfly
|  |
Supplies Needed:
| Coffee filter | Bright colored crayons or markers | | Spring-loaded clothespin | Black permanent marker | | Latex glove | Black pipe cleaner | | Strip Magnet (optional) | Scissors | - Have the kids decorate the coffee filter any way they'd like with the bright colored crayons or markers.
- Color the clothespin with the black permanent marker, using the latex glove to cover the hand holding the clothespin to prevent messy fingers.
- Lay the decorated coffee filter on a flat surface. Beginning in the middle, scrunch the coffee filter, pulling from top and bottom. Clip with the clothespin to form the butterfly's wings and body.
- Cut a 4" piece of pipe cleaner and form a shape to represent the butterfly's antennae. Insert the antennae into the clothespin.
- If you'd like the butterfly to be a refrigerator magnet, cut a 2-1/2" length of strip magnet. Cut the strip in half lengthwise. Attach the magnet to the back of the butterfly.
