Pre-K "Shrinky-Dink" butterflies


The Pre-K class is studying bugs and butterflies.  We made butterflies using shrink film and Crayola Gel markers. I baked them in the oven at 325 for 3 minutes.  They got a little bendy- it looks like the butterflies are flying.  Next time I might sandwich the pieces between two sheets if parchment paper.  The preschoolers loved using these new materials and they will be so excited to see their finished, shrunken butterflies!
