Butterfly Butterfly

Every once in a while, a book we're reading lends itself to an activity.
Such was the case with 'Butterfly, Butterfly' by Petr Horacek http://www.amazon.com/Butterfly-A-Book-Colors/dp/0763633437
A little girl goes butterfly chasing and the final bits of the book, a surprising pop-up appears of the butterfly in flight.

Pop-ups are engineered in all types of designs, so we started off by mimicking the design used to hold up the butterfly.

Then I set out a tray of coloured tissue paper, previously cut for a former project and covered the wings in double-sided tape. I started balling up the tissue squares and within minutes Baby C had shocked me with a completed butterfly!
