Parade Ready

Yesterday, Issa helped me practice our Handmade Parade idea! The studio asked me to organize the crafting piece of our participation, and while I had a great idea, I'm always nervous those ideas won't actually work. The Handmade Parade originated as a puppet parade, and so we wanted to keep that spirit and incorporate butterflies. It also had to be something our littlest caterpillars could make! Enter butterfly "marionettes."

We started with the good old preschool coffee filter butterflies: 

I added the industrial sized coffee filters to make some bigger butterflies! Use washable markers, mist, fold, repeat. The end product is super cute:

They look even better flying! I love when an idea actually works!
