How to Make a Valentine's Day Butterfly for Kids

Video Transcript

"My name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to be showing you how to make a Valentine's butterfly. First you're going to take a toilet paper roll and put it down on the edge of construction paper and you're going to need to mark the length of your toilet paper roll. And then we're going to cut along where we marked. Then we're going to take some glue and put it on the edge of our construction paper and lay our toilet paper roll down. Then we're going to roll the paper around, and we have to roll our toilet paper inside the toilet, inside the construction paper. When you get to the end, again we'll want to put some glue. And, you'll want to hold it for a few seconds to make sure it sticks. Now, we're going to give our butterfly some wings. We're going to cut out two hearts and glue these to the back. Then our butterfly needs an antennae so we cut a piece of pipe cleaner to a shorter length and we're going to fold it in half, you can curl the ends and then we're going to glue it to the inside of our toilet paper roll. And again you'll want to hold it to kinda make sure it sticks. Now that it has its antennae we need to give it a couple of eyes. So we're going to use some wiggly eyes with just a dot of glue. I'll glue that one on and I'll take a little glue and glue the other one. And now we have our Valentine's butterfly."
