Butterflies dazzle us with their exquisite wing colors and delicate movements. Use Crayola Scissors to create a decorative butterfly mobile!
1.
Enjoy the amazing butterfly illustrations in resources such as "The Butterfly Alphabet Book" by Brian Cassie and Jerry Pallotta. Can you pick a favorite? What about the Queen Alexandra Birdwing Butterfly with its huge wings, or the camouflaged Indian Leaf Butterfly?
2.
All butterflies begin as eggs. Eggs hatch into caterpillars, which surround themselves with a cocoon or pupa and finally emerge as a gorgeous butterfly.
3.
Create your own unique butterfly mobile to show the stages of a butterfly’s life cycle—or make one with lots of different wing patterns. To make a life-cycle mobile, draw a very large butterfly with a Crayola Erasable Colored Pencil on construction paper. Cut out the butterfly.
4.
Cut a smaller, oval pupa shape from patterned wrapping paper. Cut an even smaller caterpillar from contrasting paper. Use a tiny round bead or button as the egg.
5.
Cut out a large circle in the middle of the butterfly, an oval in the middle of the pupa, and a small circle in the caterpillar. Use a short thread and a drop of Crayola School Glue to suspend the bead inside the caterpillar, the caterpillar inside the pupa, and the pupa inside the butterfly.
6.
Decorate your mobile with Crayola Markers and the colored pencils. Hang your butterfly mobile in a spot where you, your family, and friends can enjoy it all year long. Could this mobile be your next science project?
