Butterflies
*Food Coloring *Coffee Filters *Eye Dropper or Straws *Wooden Clothes Pin *Pipe Cleaner
Color small bowls of water with food coloring Using an eye dropper or a straw, scatter drops of colored water onto round
coffee filters and watch the colors bleed and blend. While the filters dry draw eyes and body details on wooden clothes pins.
Gather each coffee filter up in the center and clip with the clothes pin. Make antenna for each butterfly by inserting a pipe
cleaner into the end of the clothes pin and twisting it secure. Bend the ends of the pipe cleaner to make it look realistic.
You can use tissue paper instead of coffee filters for a multi-layered effect. Decorate with sequins and buttons.

Finger play:
Five
little flowers standing in the sun
See their heads nodding, bowing one by one.
Down, down, down comes the gentle rain
And
the five little flowers lift their heads up again
One
little daffodil had nothing much to do,
Out popped another one, then there were two.
Two little daffodils were smiling
at a bee,
Out popped another one, then there were three.
Three little daffodils were growing by the door,
Out popped
another one and then there were four.
Four little daffodils were glad to be alive,
Out popped another one and then there
were five.
Five little daffodils were wearing golden crowns,
They danced in the breeze in green satin gowns
I'm a rainbow,
I'm a rainbow,
See
me shining
Way up high.
Red, orange, yellow,
Green, blue, purple,
Pretty colors
In the sky
