This is a really fun craft that doesnt require any fancy materials. You’ll most likely have everything already at home. It’s also ‘magical’ and I’m sure your kids will love it!

Amazing Balancing Butterfly Craft

Materials needed:

Coloured Paper
Card board from cereal boxes (or any other box)
Glue
Coins

Fold a coloured paper half. Draw one half of a butterfly making sure the top wings are way above the butterfly head to enable it to balance. This is also a good time to teach your child about the centre of gravity.

Cut and paste onto the card board. Cut again. 

Decorate the butterfly. 

Paste a coin each on the back of the top wings. 

The butterfly should be able to balance itself now. 

It can balance almost anywhere. 

Your kids will have a whole lot of fun balancing the butterfly everywhere!

You can also make a balancing bird instead of a butterfly. 

 It’s just as beautiful and fun to play with. This is a great craft to make at any parties 🙂

It’s the school holidays now so let’s make an origami whale.

OK so it’s the school holidays and I just wanted to do something different with my entry. Hehe. This is not my usual entry. There is no step-by-step instructions but just comic of my two kids because I’ve posted a step-by-step instructions on how to fold an origami whale back in 2009.
