How to make the butterflies
Paint the sticks.
Stick the eyes on.
Cut small black strips
Punch out circles.
Stick the circles on the strips.
Stick on the butterflies and draw mouths.
Choose folding leaves in pretty colours.
We fold the leaves like a harmonica, alternately
Start diagonal by folding a point.
Fold until the end of tje leaf.
Fold all the wings this way.
Draw circles on the leafs.
Cut out the circles.
Fold these leaves too.
Now you have top and bottom wings.
Fold the wings open.
Stick magnets on the back of the butterflies or tie a string on.
Now the butterflies can land on your magnetic board too.
