I think all little girls love butterflies.  Our local Butterfly Exhibit is closed for the summer and re-opens again in October. 
The girls can’t wait!
In the meantime, we attempted to make our own flutter bugs…

Food coloring and coffee filters- something I had on hand already.

Cheap, fun, and totally worth it- especially considering the girls had a blast playing with them for at least an hour afterwards!
Did You Know?  The average lifespan for an adult butterfly is 20 to 40 days. Some species live no longer than three or four days; others may live up to six months.
