How to Make an Origami Butterfly (simple)

March 19, 2015

When Paper Crafts meet Butterfly Crafts! Today we share these simple paper origami butterflies with you. It is wonderful to see my kids get into some basic Origami paper folding crafts – they are now 5yrs and 7yrs and just about able to manage. Interestingly, they do well on these paper crafts for different reasons and depending on the item we are making. My son LOVES making Paper Boats and my daughter simply adores the Paper Bunnies (which we have discovered also turns into a great Pokemon character). Anyway, I am digressing, as part of our paper crafting fun, we have also had a go at these super simple paper butterflies. Nice and easy to make. Very cute and fun and all you need is a square piece of paper… and off you go. This would make a lovely Easter Origami Craft for Kids!
