Mother's Day Butterfly Card folded

What To Do:

1. Fold two pieces of construction paper in half, placing one piece inside of the other
2. Draw half of a butterfly along the fold
3. Cut along the line, keeping the two pieces of paper together. You will now have 2 separate butterflies
4. Keeping only one butterfly folded, draw a smaller butterfly within and cut it out.
5. Glue this smaller butterfly onto the larger, alternately colored butterfly.
6. On the reverse side, glue on the other cut-out piece.
7. Cut out a body and antennas and glue onto the inside piece.
8. Using markers, a hole punch or scraps of construction paper, decorate your butterfly
9. Write a message to mom on the inside of the card
