DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Candy Valentine Butterfly (or Dragonfly)
This is a great craft/Valentine card/Valentine treat
for children to make for their friends, family or classmates.
My youngest daughter calls it a butterfly and my oldest
calls it a dragonfly.
Thanks to Georgia for sending
this idea in!

Aunty Lisa adds: if you're a
scrapbooker, you can use a scrapbook heart punch to quickly punch out perfect little
heart shaped wings!
Materials:
Directions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Color (where appropriate).
- Cut out the template pieces.
- Glue pieces together:
- Glue the small candy bar or gum stick on as the body of the butterfly (dragonfly)
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
Quick Version:
If you're making cards like this for an entire classroom,
doing cut and paste crafts for all of them will take a long time.
The templates below provide an alternative that's a fair bit quicker
when making cards in bulk.
|
 |
-
Print out the template
-
Cut the template in half (each template makes two
cards)
-
Cut out a bunch of construction paper hearts (fold
the construction paper a few times and cut a half heart shape to
make a bunch of same size hearts at once)
|
 |
-
Glue the two construction paper hearts on as wings
-
Tape a small bar (Mars, Starburst, Aero, etc) on
as a body.
