Make the butterfly wings

First, draw a big butterfly wing on one paper plate. Make it as big as you can! Carefully cut out the wing you drew. Now, place that cut-out wing on the second paper plate and trace around it with your pencil. Cut out this second wing too. If you have a special butterfly wing template, you can use that instead to cut out your wings.
