Yogurt bottle butterflies

YOU WILL NEED:

Empty and clean Yakult bottles (or any bottle with a similar shape)

Black paint

Googly eyes

Glue

Pipe cleaners

Coloured card

Gem stone stickers etc for decoration

HOW TO MAKE YOGHURT BOTTLE BUTTERFLIES:

First paint your clean Yakult bottle. Once it is dry add some googly eyes to the front using glue. To make the butterfly’s antennae take your pipe cleaner and bend it in half. About an inch or two before the end twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together and then roll the ends into little balls or circles. Put the folded end of the pipe cleaner inside the yoghurt bottle.

To make the wings cut a rectangle from coloured card and then fold it in half. Cut out a rounded wing shape and unfold. Stick the wings on to the back of the butterfly and these can now be decorated however you like. This is an easy but fun activity, especially for children at home or in a classroom.
