Design Your Own Flip Flops
Craft
This has proved one of our most popular crafts! Perfect on your
own or as a group activity - perhaps for a summer party, or a long rainy
afternoon with friends - it has the added benefit of using up your scraps of
paper, wrapping paper, card and ribbon! Younger children will enjoy the same
craft using craft foam, card and pipe cleaners.
Butterfly Coloring Craft
Make a mobile or decorate your window when you have colored in
these lovely butterflies.
Printable butterfly mobile
This beautiful butterfly mobile is particularly special if made using printer
acetate, but effective with card too. Older kids can get creative with beads and
sequins for an even more glamorous effect.
Chinese Fan Decorate and make a pretty, authentic Chinese pleated fan - perfect
for a hot summer's day!
This pretty Tissue Paper Butterfly looks gorgeous hanging in the window with the
sun shining through it - or make more than one and display as a mobile! Tissue Paper Butterfly
