This is a very easy project that my friends Kathy (retired kindergarten teacher) and Terese (artistic one) put together. I have included step by step instructions with photos to simplify making your own classroom bulletin boards.
I have a set of 14 butterfly photos available that would be perfect for creating this bulletin board or one of your own.
Butterfly Bulletin Board Instructions
- I bought cheap fabric (about $3) for the background of this bulletin board. This works great because you can reuse it. Any kind of paper would work, too. Cut it to fit the bulletin board (the one I made is 46.5"x41")
- This photo set includes the 14 photographs used on this bulletin board. I used 14 - 5x7 prints, but you could also choose the other 8
image set and maybe develop 1 - 8x10 photo of each stage. Or, draw the stages yourself. - Make the following labels (either use computer or stencils) - Stages of the Monarch Butterfly, Egg, Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Butterfly
- Cut out white paper adding 1/4" around the photo...i.e. 1/2" bigger than width and height (i.e. these are 5x7 photos so it would be 5 1/2 x 7 1/2)
- Lay the photos and the label in the position you want them and add 1" to the overall width and height of grouping (giving you 1/2" border around, then cut out black construction paper to these dimensions
- Bulletin board border, I just used tag board or you could use construction paper (my border is 3" wide)
- Make decorative butterflies for the border - mine are just stylized butterflies made from a folded piece of construction paper, cut in shape of butterfly, then outlined with black marker - put them up with a push pin and the fold makes them 3D (looks like they are flying!)....use these to cover up the seams of the border
- Add photos (or drawings) of a female and male monarch butterfly off center on the sides (just cut out black and white paper as above to "frame" photos)
