Peg butterflies
You will need:
* Coloured card
* Paint, glitter etc
* Plastic clothes peg
* Glue
* Scissors
* Pencil * Cut out the shape of a butterfly. The length should be just a little shorter than the peg you are using.
* Decorate the butterfly with materials of your choice, and allow it to dry.
* Cut out two small strips of card and curl around the pencil to make feelers. Stick these to the back of the butterfly.
* Firmly glue the back of the butterfly to the clothes peg, along the centre of the body, and allow to dry.
* The butterfly can now be used as a welly peg, or can decorate a room by being pegged on to curtains or lampshades. You could let the child pretend it's flying around!
