- Step 5: Cut a piece of the pipe cleaner and fold it in to a V shape, we are now making the butterfly body starting with the antennae.
- Step 6:Roll each end of the V to make a little spiral and stick it on the top of the lolly stick
- Step 7: Add glue on the wooden stick and stick the 3 pompoms to be the butterfly body. Start with a bigger pom pom that is going to be the butterfly’s head.
- Step 8: Stick on the googly eyes THEN attach the body to the hand print.
- Step 9: Hold the end of the stick and make the wings flutter as it flies through the air.
