Etape 1.
To make a butterfly puppet, you will need:
- a large wooden spoon
- a piece of thick black cardstock in A4 size (300 g/m²)
- 2 movable eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- a colored chenille measuring 30 cm
- a colored pom-pom
- glittery masking tape
- POSCA markers
- double-sided adhesive foam
- a pair of scissors
- a precision cutter
Etape 2.
Draw the butterfly wings on a sturdy black card and then cut them out with a pair of scissors.
Make 2 parallel notches of about 3 cm at the center of the butterfly. These will hold the wooden spoon in place.
Etape 3.
Decorate the butterfly wings using POSCA markers.
Highly opaque, the paint in POSCA markers will allow you to achieve beautiful colored contrasts on the black card.
Etape 4.
Slide the wooden spoon into the slot located in the center of the wings.
Etape 5.
Using double-sided adhesive foam, stick 2 movable eyes with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a pompom on the head of the spoon.
With a black POSCA marker, draw the butterfly's mouth.
Etape 6.
To create the butterfly antennas, cut a 30 cm chenille into 2 pieces and then glue them to the back of the spoon using double-sided adhesive foam.
Etape 7.
For a lovely decoration, stick pieces of glitter masking tape onto the handle of the spoon.
Etape 8.
And here is a lovely puppet that will bring joy to children!

hello I am a nanny and the little ones loved it
bonjour je suis nounou et les petites ont adoré
I am a nanny and the little ones love it, I just added some pieces of ribbon to the tail of the butterfly for a fun effect when they fly it in the air!!! And a Velcro bracelet so they can also attach it to their wrist!!!! Thank you for your ideas!!!
je suis nounou et les petits adorent, j'ai juste rajouté des morceaux de ruban à la queue du papillon pour l'effet fun quand ils le font voler dans les airs !!! et un bracelet scratch pour qu ils puissent aussi l attacher au poignet !!!! merci pour vos idées !!!
the Posca pens are very expensive, I replaced them with stickers
les crayons Posca coutent tres chers , j'ai remplacé par des gomettes
Bonjour Françoise, Coller des gommettes est également une excellente idée, surtout pour les plus petits ! Les marqueurs POSCA sont en effet un peu plus coûteux mais vous pouvez les utiliser pendant des mois et des mois :)
Great activity to do with the kids!
Super activité à faire avec les enfants!
