Quick kids craft: paper butterfly {with template}

My (twin) sister came up with this ‘paper butterfly’ idea and all our kids (as different as they are) love them.

We usually do the cutting-out and then we hand them over to the kids to decorate. Once they have embellished to their hearts content we tape a skewer or straw onto the body of the butterfly then the kids run around giving them a good old flap! Easy!

I usually just cut them out freehand but if you want a template you can download one here!

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend. My little boy still recovering from his tonsillectomy (I guess when the doctors told me it would be a two week recovery peroid they really did mean two weeks). My eldest son also had a great first week at school. He’s been pretty tired though and tried to pull a sicky on day three…didn’t take long for the novelty to wear off!!
