We were reading about butterflies and such and I thought we'd set ourselves to a bit of a project which involved the design and construction of an anatomically correct butterfly.
Noah Charlotte and Eli drew up pattern, pinned them to fabric and cut out wings thorax abdomen and head (legs are still to come). Josh made some antenna's by platting wool.
I sewed all the bits together and then they all had a go at stuffing them. The thing is with this butterfly we made it so it attached together with Velcro, buttons, studs and ties so that you can take it apart and put all the bits back together again...very clever I thought. the kids picked the fabric too. Charlotte loved doing it so much she asked if we could make something every time she came over.
