How to make a Butterfly Girl Petal Crown
Head outdoors to collect petals and leaves. The girls in my nature class all got to pick an empty Butterfly Girl Chrysalis (pod bag) to collect their treasure.
What you will need to make a Butterfly Girl Crown:
1. A selection of petals and leaves (we also added lavender)
2. Long strip of recycled paper or card (measured to fit child’s head)
3. Glue (Glitter and sequin are optional)
4. Tape or stapler to join the two ends of paper together
Place the stem of leaves and lavender in the center of the paper and tape in place (we found the tape held the leaves in place much better than the glue).
Glue petals in place and sprinkle with glitter if desired. Now staple or tape the two ends of paper together.
Now grab your Butterfly Girl Wind Streamer …..
…….and GO PLAY!
Dragonfly Boy crowns are made in exactly the same way only using more leaves and swapping seeds for petals.

Oh, these are gorgeous. I might just have to steal this idea to use at preschool
I’d love to see your pre schoolers make the Butterfly Girl and Dragonfly Boy Crowns-how wonderful. You must share!
I can’t wait for Spring and a few more petals to give this a try
I know a certain Princess who would love that!
These are delightful Marghanita! Thanks for the idea
A pleasure Catherine. A friend just remarked, Marghanita you look like your having way to much fun to call this work………..she’s right!
No need to wait until Spring, why not make one just of fallen leaves. Autumn is just around the corner and think of the beautiful range of coloured leaves your princess could use. Happy crown making Amanda.
