With winter slowly dying off and the welcoming of spring nearly approaching butterflies are a great way to get in the mood for spring! Adventures of Flake posted a butterfly art project she did with her children using great household items such as coffee filters and washable markers. Just a spritz of water turns simple colored coffee filters into a beautiful tie-dyed butterfly!
