Try It Tuesday: Coffee Filter Butterflies

This is a super fun and easy project for kids and uses dot markers.

Supplies Needed Per Butterfly:

• 2 round coffee filters
• dot markers
• 1 pipe cleaner
• spray bottle of water

Directions:

• Flatten out the coffee filters
• Make dot marks all over the filters 
• Spray down with water
• Allow to Dry
• Pinch each of the filter to the center so that one creates the top wings and the other creates the bottom wings
• Fold a pipe cleaner in half and twist the bottom (folded part) inch together
• Place the pinched coffee filters in between the pipe cleaners on top of the twisted part
• Twist over the top of the wings to secure in to place
• Curl pipe cleaner ends to make antennae

You can also try using washable makers like we did in this butterfly craft.
