Beautiful Bubble Butterflies.

 How did we make these wonderful butterflies?

First we folded white paper in half.  We pressed bubble wrap into the paint and onto the paper. We started with the primary colours, red, yellow and blue. Then we mixed some paint together to make secondary colours. It was like MAGIC!! 
Red and yellow made orange. 

                          Blue and yellow made green. 

                                                    Red and blue made purple. 

We used what we learned about symmetry to make sure both sides of the paper looked THE EXACT SAME.

Then we folded the black paper in half and drew a butterfly outline with chalk. We cut and glued the outline onto the bubble wrap designs. We cut around the black paper to make our beautiful bubble butterflies.

It was tricky to push the bubble wrap into the paint because it felt cold and slimy. We got paint ALL OVER OUR HANDS. Then we washed them with soap and water and that made them clean.

It was also tricky to draw a ginormous butterfly but luckily we could rub out the chalk and keep on trying!!

We think our butterflies look fantastic and beautiful. We feel very excited that we made them. They are on our tree now, but we can bring them home later in the year.
