Toothpick Butterfly

This idea comes directly from my daughter who loves to fiddle around with found objects. It would be lovely to make a butterfly garden all around the house in Spring with these.

Fold paper and cut various butterfly wings (just one half so that when you open it you have a perfect butterfly); color the wings; now cut a few slits into the middle fold and slide in the toothpick.

Try making other creatures too.

This may have been inspired at least in part by the butterfly on a stick she played with in her grandmother's garden!
