Beautiful Butterflies ~ Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar

 The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is the current favourite book in our house so we have been trying to think of as many butterfly and caterpillar related crafts as we can.


You will need some thin coloured card, clear contact and we used pre cut paper mosaic squares.

I had already pre cut the shapes of the butterflies and and stuck the contact to the back so there was a  sticky side for the children to stick there squares straight onto, no need for glue.

Miss L very carefully sticking her squares onto the contact.

Miss M was having lots of fun once she got the idea.

Miss G, took the most care and was very carefully putitng her squares on. She was very carefully selecting the colours and seeking out the pink!

Master E had a different approach. Just tip as many of the squares as you can and then shake off the rest. A very efficient way of getting you butterfly decorated.

Testing one of the butterflies on our window to see how it looked. 

Busy creating, and having fun spreading the mosaic squares across the lounge room.

Miss G very proudly showing off her finished butterfly.

The finished masterpieces. Looking fabulous!!!
