I first started making suncatchers with my kids when my youngest was still a toddler and she would enjoy picking up pieces of cellophane and sprinkling them everywhere to see where they landed – the result was still always really pretty!

This resource includes detailed child-friendly instructions, photographs for each step and a printable template of a butterfly. Presented in a cream, polka dot gift box, it is the perfect gift for friends and family members for birthdays, Christmas or Mother’s Day. My inspiration comes from holistic imagery and the natural beauty in my garden and local West Midlands countryside. We folded the card in half and then cut the shape of half a butterfly into it so that the butterflies would be symmetrical when we folded them back out again. This piece was just so beautiful and I actually found it trying to find her something special for Christmas off of her Pinterest account under, beautiful.

They look amazing up in a window with the light shining in and are a really easy way that your kids can make a decoration to brighten up a room. Attached to the bottom is a silver wire, with three beads threaded onto it and a large, iridescent, blue charm hanging on the end.

Leaving gaps looks good as does layering up colours a bit too and it’s a good excuse to have a chat about colour mixing – if you layer blue and yellow together what colour will it make when the sun shines through it?

The Goodness Garden Butterfly House Presented by GoGo squeeZ is a beautiful garden offering a kaleidoscopic view of butterflies up close, in all their extraordinary color and an array of healthy plants blooming as kids will learn how some of our fruits and veggieZ are grown. I remember making them when I was a kid but had honestly forgotten just how brilliant they look with the sun streaming through them. Each design is fired in a kiln for up to 24 hours reaching temperatures of up to 800C, and I carefully control the firing process so the glass melts and forms a texture before it is slowly cooled.

Peel and stick: Carefully peel the suncatcher from its backing and place it on the window, aligning it as desired. We love butterfly crafts and activities and if your kids do too why not grab some of our free butterfly printables – perfect for using alongside making this craft. I used one strip of each color from the short side of the tissue paper I had, and it was more than enough. Once you’re happy with your design place another piece of sticky back plastic on the top so that all the cellophane is held in place and then cut your butterflies out.The butterflies flutter across each piece and have been laid out in the typical chakra colours (the base is red, moving through to oranges, yellows, greens, blue, amethyst and clear as the crown chakra). Explore the beauty of butterflies with this butterfly suncatcher kids’ craft inspired by the Goodness Garden Butterfly House Presented by GoGo squeeZ at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival. Clean the surface: Clean the area where you plan to place the suncatcher to ensure a smooth, clean surface. These beautiful butterfly suncatchers are a great way to add subtle detail and colour to any garden.
