How to make a clay pot butterfly craft for kids to make!

STEP ONE

Basecoat both clay pots with lavender acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.

STEP TWO


Attach two wiggle eyes to each Butterfly head with a glue gun and glue sticks. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you would have to wait for it to dry.


Add polka dot cheeks by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry.


Draw a mouth on the Mama and Baby Butterfly with a black permanent marker.

STEP THREE

Cut a 12” blue chenille stem in half and fold both sections in half.


Attach a green pom pom to the cut end of both sets of antennae with a glue gun and glue sticks.


Secure the folded end in the hole in the bottom of the clay pot with a glue gun and glue sticks.

STEP FOUR


Cut one small pink paper doily in quarters and attach two to the back of the Baby Bee using a glue gun and glue sticks.


Cut the second small pink paper doily in half, then cut out a notch to create the Mama Butterfly wings, and then glue two wings to the back of the Mama Butterfly.

A great family fun craft activity to complete with the kiddos.
