TIE-DIED BUTTERFLIES
NEED:
MARKERS
COFFEE FILTER PAPER
A PIPE CLEANER
A SPRAY BOTTLE( FILLED W/ WATER)

Have the children color the filter with all colors of markers.
Then when they are through, have them spray it with the water,,
make sure they keep it at a distance, so the filter only get's misted.

watch as the colors bleed together causing a tie-die effect.
hang to dry.
when dry, bunch two sides together and twist the pipe cleaner around
and around,, until there is just enough left to make the antlers!!!
