Butterfly Glyph

Around the Kelley house we are ready for winter to be gone and spring to arrive.  I have been pulling all our winter crafts down and wanted some new spring crafts to go up, so for our weekly craft we made butterfly glyphs.

Glyphs are super fun.  If you have never done one with your kiddos…today is the day.  A glyph is simply a new way to represent something.  They show several pieces of information all at once…they are fun is what they really are 🙂

Here are the supplies you will need:  Traced butterfly in child’s favorite color, blank body of butterfly, plain paper, scissors, glue, crayons and/or markers and glyph criteria.

Here’s the criteria we used for our glyph:

*Make the wings your favorite color.

*Color the body green if your are a boy.  Color the body purple if you are a girl.

After the kiddos cut out their butterfly and colored the butterfly body, they glued it down to their paper.

* Draw hearts on your butterfly wings if you are 4-years-old.  Draw circles on your butterfly wings if you are 3-years-old.

*Give your butterfly straight antennas if you like ice cream the best.  Give your butterfly curvy antennas if you like candy the best.

*Draw a sunshine on the right side of your page if you like reading best.  Draw a sunshine on the left side of your page if you like TV best.

* Give your butterfly a smiley face if you like to dance.  Give your butterfly a silly face if you do not like to dance.

*Write your name at the top of the page if you like winter best.  Write your name at the bottom of the page if you like summer the best.

And those are our butterfly glyphs.  Your kids will love these and you can change them up in a million different ways.

Have a great Tuesday.  Peace, Love & Glyphs.
