Colorful Wood Peg Doll Butterfly Craft

If you’ve been looking for a fun and colorful craft to make for spring, this pretty butterfly craft definitely needs to be on your to-do list! In fact, I’ve been so excited to share it with you ever since we made it. My daughter and I had an afternoon full of fun making our colorful wood peg doll butterfly craft and they’ve been such a delight for my daughter to fly and play around with.

How to Make a Colorful Wood Peg Doll Butterfly Craft
Supplies:
  • wood peg doll
  • cardboard
  • paint
  • craft jewels
  • small googly eyes
  • string
  • pink or red marker
  • scissors
  • glue

Directions:

1. Start by cutting out your butterfly wings from your cardboard.Leave a small section connecting the two wings together in the middle. This is where you will slide your wood peg doll down onto the butterfly wings.
2. Paint your butterfly wings. Let them dry completely. When they are finished drying, slide your wood peg doll down onto your wings.
3. Glue craft gems onto your butterfly wings. My daughter and I had a ball looking through all of the different colors, shapes and sizes of all of the gems while our butterfly wings were drying. We created all kinds of different patterns to decide what we wanted to put on our butterfly wings.

4. Cut a piece of string for your antennae, bend it in half and glue it onto the back of your butterfly head. Then glue on your googly eyes and draw on a mouth with your red or pink marker.
