I'm putting together a Valentine project to do with 3 year olds-2nd graders. I had the idea to make butterflies from coffee filters and clothes pins, which there lots of samples of online. I'm hoping it's a craft that even the little ones can do with some adult help. We'll see how it goes this Sunday. I thought I would share in case anyone is looking for a quick easy idea to do with their kids this year. I also liked these hand dyed Valentines too.
They're adorable, and the painted filters are so beautiful on their own. Good luck with the project!

Oh they're so beautiful! What a lovely idea.
My six year old's decided that thursday afternoons, after school, are his studio time. He's got his own corner in our home studio and I've been putting together a list of projects. I think this one might head straight to the top! It's Summer here and the garden is filled with hundreds of butterflies! We've been exploring nature through art lately and we've got some egg carton caterpillars creeping around the studio... perhaps it's time for them to metamorphosise ;)
I love the kissing balls too! How sweet they'd look hung up together.

Lovely, and so great and simple for them to make. I actually remember doing something like this when I was a child......
