Follow the instructions and images in this article to create your own colourful peg butterfly. These craft butterflies are a perfect play prompt for discussion over diversity with your children.
Shruti, from Melbourne, sent in this diverse butterflies idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
We reused few pegs by painting them in different skin tones and making them prettier by adding colourful wings made of tissue paper and water paints. These butterflies are ready to be used in make believe play experiences.
There you have it, a beautiful peg butterfly!
Recycle reuse was the best part.
Do you have any other projects planned?
To do more sustainable experiences.
