Crafty-Crafted.com Craft for children and anything nice

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 🙂

Let’s make a bird today. Not an angry bird but a cute one 😀

Toilet Paper Roll Bird

Paint a toilet paper roll any colour to your liking.

Paint your thumb white and stamp as the white eye. Paint your pointer black and stamp again as the eyeball 😀

Cut two triangles out of orange construction paper for the beak

Spread PVA glue all over the toilet roll

Now it’s the fun part – Sticking feathers onto the bird.

Instead of buying feathers from craft store, I bought a brand new feather duster and stripped the feathers from it instead. It’s much cheaper that way!

The kids with their bird 😀
