Butterfly Dimensional I.D.

The teacher will die-cut the materials for student use prior to the lesson.

1. Die-cut the Butterfly from two different colors of tag or poster board.
2. Cut off the bottom 1/2" of the Butterfly body so it is flush with the bottom of the Butterfly wings.
3. With a ruler and pencil, draw a line down the middle of each Butterfly body.
4. On one Butterfly, cut a slit half way up the body, following the penciled line. Widen the slit by cutting right next to the original slit. This will allow the Butterflies to fit together easily.
5. On the other Butterfly, cut a slit half way down the body, following the penciled line. Widen the slit by cutting right next to the original slit.
6. Interlock the two Butterflies at the slits until they align on the bottom of the wings.
7. Lay the Butterflies flat, and adhere names with alphabet stickers, markers or pens.
8. When the Butterflies are opened, the name of the student is easily seen (Main Photo).
