Making a Kid's Paper Butterfly Bracelet - child wearing the green butterflyAfter going to a local garden nursery and seeing beautiful butterflies, the kids wanted to have "butterfly superpowers".

I asked the kids if they could make butterfly bracelets as their superpowers and they agreed! Kids have phases when it comes to toys and luckily you can easily make these out of paper and discard after.

  7. Ask your child how'd they like to decorate their butterfly. They can decorate with glitter, stickers, color pencils, markers, crayons, or scraps of paper. My toddler cut pieces of glittery paper and random scrap paper for decoration.
