Vlinder worm sidepicll

By now we have made a lot of funny insects, especially from egg cartons, but what do we do with them? They are now in the mini-monsters rooms on the various windowsills. But we like to use them in a fun and useful way. Today we make the butterfly and the worm. We don't want to make 26 insects, although we could easily because there are countless of them! But sticking the nicest ones on a card with letter and word, yes, we like that idea a lot.
