Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
One clean white coffee filter and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Flatten the filter on a stable table and add broad colorful marks.
- Adult gathers the middle of the filter to suggest two wings.
- Hold the middle together and gently move the pretend butterfly while making up a story.
Adult stays beside the child, manages the filter, and collects torn pieces afterward.
