As my little one often claims she is inwardly a butterfly spirit, we’ve no shortage of butterfly ideas and crafts! We’ve used quite a few of these in parties and at home camps. Most won’t break the piggy bank as well, so that’s always a plus! Check out some of our ideas, try out a few, and let us know how it goes!
We’ve also got some parties and at home camps themed around butterflies that you can browse through here: All Things Butterflies
This simple craft only requires a toothpick and some colored pom poms. Since you’re using a toothpick, you’ll want to supervise smaller children for safety. Click here to check out the tutorial.
This simple craft only requires glue dots and medium to large pom poms (we used 2inch ones). It’s super easy, no dry time required, and fun to watch wiggle! Click here to check out our tutorial.

EGG CARTON CATERPILLARS
This one actually comes from frugalfun4boys.com but is easy AND you get to use upcycles! Try it out: Adorable Egg Turtle Carton Craft (And Caterpillar and Frog too)
The one only requires some string and construction paper. You can also re-use the technique and create multiple butterflies, different sizes, etc.. You can also shape your table napkins for additional decoration! Click here to check out the tutorial.
This one just requires some pony beads and pipe cleaners. Kids can get creative with their beads, using color blocks, patterns, or a free design. The possibilities are endless 🙂 Click here to check out the tutorial.
A TISSUE & PIPE CLEANER BUTTERFLY CRAFT
This one just requires a piece of tissue paper and pipe cleaners. Optionally add some string, clothespins, or dowels to stand them up or hang them around! Click here to check out the tutorial
WOODEN BUTTERFLY SHAPE CRAFT
Our little ones are big fans of wooden butterfly shape slices – you can color them with markers, paint pens, glitter glue OR glue craft items on like acrylics, sequins, mini beads. The possibilities are endless!
