This is a two
day craft, to allow drying time
between each day.
1 coffee filter
per child
2 pipe cleaners per child
Various small
dishes of water with different
colors of food coloring added to
each dish and an eyedropper for
each dish.
Take the coffee
filter and flatten it out (not
too flat though). With
eyedroppers drip different colors
on each filter (not too wet
though!) Let the filters dry
overnight. Once each filter is
dry, gather the filter in the
center and wrap both pipe
cleaners around the center. Form
the butterfly's antennae with a
tip of each pipe cleaner (small
children may need help with this)
Wrap the end of each pipe cleaner
around a pencil to make the
antennae curly. You can use the
butterfly to talk about the
change that occurs when God saves
us through Christ. We become a
new creation
