Brilliant Butterfly Kite
With Crayola® Slick Stix™ intense colors go on as smoothly as a butterfly fluttering in the breeze! Imagine how cool your room will look with this kite hanging on the wall!
1. Cover your craft area with newspaper and wear a painting shirt. Fold construction paper in half. Use Crayola Slick Stix to draw half of a butterfly. The body goes along the fold and the wings extend outward toward the open edges.
2. Cut out your butterfly. Open it up and you’ll see that it’s the same on both sides. This is called bilateral symmetry, because the butterfly has two halves (bilateral), and is the same on each half (symmetry).
3. Decorate your butterfly kite. Make the sides as equal as possible, to preserve the symmetry. The Slick Stix go on SOOOO smoothly with such intense colors! You can even blend colors if you wish.
4. If you wish, tape on a yarn tail. Tie bits of tissue paper on the tail. Hang your kite to add brilliant color to any room!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Kites—
CAUTION: Do not fly over or near electric power lines, trees, buildings, radio-TV antennas, or any other obstruction. Avoid flying over spectators, moving traffic, within 5 miles (8.05 km) of an airport, or more than 400 ft. (121.92 m) high. Fly in an open area. NEVER fly a kite in extremely high winds, in thunderstorms, or with wire, wet twine, metallic string, or cord containing any conductive or metallic materials whatsoever. Do not try to recover a kite from electric power lines or other high or dangerous places.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
