Classroom Butterflies

This classroom set of  butterflies look beautiful hanging inside our classroom.  It's hard to get a picture that serves it justice.

Each child and their family was giving a large plastic butterfly to color in during Open House.  They could either color it in independently or work together.  We later shrunk them in the oven and curved them.  When shrinking them, you need to go one at a time.  They will often start to curl up into themselves, and if they do you need to pull them out of the oven and straighten them out before putting them back in.
