Butterfly Shape Poem

Once I have read butterfly stories, we brainstormed many words that are associated with butterflies.  Students were instructed to create sentences, or repeat words to trace over the guiding lines of the butterfly shape.  We used coffee filters, markers and a squirt bottle to create the colourful butterfly wings.  Once the filter was dry, we used a pipe cleaner to pull the shape of the butterfly together.  Another fun spring activity.
