Download the butterfly template, print, and cut out the pieces.

Paint one paper plate in the color you want the butterfly wings to be. Paint the second paper plate yellow for the body. Let dry completely.

Place the wing template on the first paper plate, trace it, and cut out the wings.

Place the body template on the yellow paper plate, trace it, and cut out the body.

Place the wings with the insides almost touching each other. Place glue along the back of the butterfly's body and glue it on top of the wings.

Glue the googly eyes to the top of the head.

Use the markers to draw on cheeks and a smile. Draw on any details on the butterfly's body or wings.

Add any embellishments to the wings.

Cut a pipe cleaner in half and wrap on end loosely around the marker. Uncurl and shape it to look like an antenna.

Flip the butterfly over and tape the antennae to the back.
