Egg Carton Butterfly

Happy Monday! Me and Dawson did a few crafts this weekend! I'm excited to show you what we did because they turned out pretty darn cute. The first one that I am going to share is our egg carton butterfly.

I cut out the egg carton for him and then I let him paint it. He did a pretty good job! He didn't always paint on the egg carton, but that's ok because the paint we use is very easy to clean up.


When he was finished painting the egg carton, I got a white piece of cardstock and let him use his Dot Art Paints to paint the paper.


As you can see in the picture he didn't do a lot of dotting. I kept showing him on my own piece of paper how to make dots, but he wanted to color with them. That's ok though, I love how it turned out.

After all the paint dried I cut the cardstock into the shape of butterfly wings and then glue the wings to the egg carton. Then I added a little pipe cleaner to make an antenna.


Dawson liked admiring it when it was finished.


We decided that we are going to use the wall behind his craft/snack table to display his artwork. His table is in the playroom so we will be able to see his art all the time. This butterfly is the first one to go up on the wall. :)


I'm excited to fill that wall up with all of his creations.
