These butterfly mobiles are so quick and easy to make and look really effective fluttering in the breeze as they hang from your ceiling.
1) Buy some wooden clothes pegs and get the children to colour them with brown felt tips.
2) Choose 2 colours of tissue paper and draw 2 largish hearts opposite each other that join together at the point.
3) Ask the children to cut them out and lay them one on top of the other.
4) Twist them together at the centre - this creates your wings.
5) Open your coatpeg and push the wings in, then fluff them out to look more realistic.
6) Either use brown/black coloured pipe cleaners or colour white ones appropriately. Curl one end and glue the straight ends to the straight end of the clothes peg to make your feelers.
7) Use the clear nylon thread to suspend them from your ceiling / tree branches.
These work really well with a summer / minibeasts / lifecycles /rainforest project.
