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
