Next, twist the two remaining pieces of pipe cleaners from each wing together. We added one bead (the purple one in the photo below) to the pipe cleaners after wrapping the two ends on each wing together. Next twist the two pipe cleaner pieces together until you have one pipe cleaner. Do this for both of the pipe cleaner wings. Make sure you are leaving a little bit on the ends, this is what you will wrap together for the body. Wrap one pipe cleaner around the center to secure them together.

Twist each pipe cleaner into an oval, my toddlers did this themselves with no problem right off the bat because of all the bracelets we’ve made. It’s very simple to make, just let the kids thread the beads onto the pipe cleaners until they are nearly full. We used two pipe cleaners, one for each wing. That’s all you need!

This pony bead butterfly craft is so much fun and surprisingly easy for my toddlers and preschoolers. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience, see disclosure for more info. These easy pony bead butterflies came out of all those hours of threading beads and making bracelets. We recently used them to make our heart suncatchers (no melting needed!) and have been doing lots of threading and un-threading activities. Pony beads have become some of our favorite materials in recent weeks. Let’s a pony bead butterfly craft together!
