Paper Dress: Chasing Butterfly

Playing in the park is probably one of Little E's favorite things to do. Although she is still not a fan of the swings at age 4, she really likes the slides,  bike riding, observing insects and birds, or just running around on the grass for no reason.

Recently she has discovered a new activity to do - chasing butterflies! There are some monarch butterflies flying in the neighborhood park. Every time Little E spotted them, she would just took off running excitedly after them, trying to see how beautiful they are and how high they can fly!

I thought it would be a great idea for make a butterfly paper dress during this season. 

I glued 2 pieces of violet tissue paper to make the dress. 

I found a butterfly pattern on line. Little E traced it on colorful origami paper.

She used glitter glue to to decorate the biggest butterfly. 

It's her first time using glitter glue at home - sticky but sparkly!

We let the glitter butterfly dry overnight. 

The next day, we cut out all 7 butterflies from the origami paper.

 Glue them randomly on the violet tissue paper.

Voila! Here is our 16th paper dress made together - Chasing Butterfly!
