The kindergarten class has been learning amazing things about butterflies.

I had the privilege of making butterflies with them and exploring what

happens when you use washable markers and water on a coffee filter.

Here are the main materials we used:

Steps:

1. Place the coffee filter on a tray (colour bleeds through and this catches water)
2. Colour on the filter

3.  Then spray the coffee filter or use an eye dropper to drop water onto the filter

4.  Dry the filter

5.  Leave it as is or make it into a flower or butterfly or…….

So amazing to watch the water spread the colours!

Happy experimenting!!!!

And don’t shy away from using black it has the best surprise!

Don’t have a spray bottle?

Don’t worry!! On a rainy day take your coloured filter outside

and watch what happens.
