Plastic Spoon Butterflies

My toddler pronounces butterfly as "blublubluh!" and it's the cutest thing ever! We decorated her room with butterflies and she loves finding them in books. My boys love to catch them and chase them while I remind them constantly to be gentle. Basically, we all love them, so these plastic spoon butterflies were the perfect craft for us.

I found this idea at Paging Fun Mums. I just free-handed cutting out the wings, and let my boys color them however they pleased.

We used chenille stems to wrap around the spoon, over the middle of the wings, and around the spoon again to make the antennae.

Then I hot glued some googly eyes on, and we were done.

They were the perfect addition to all of our other bug crafts...ants, spiders, dragonflies, and caterpillars!
