Friendship Butterflies

You will need

Selection of sweets, food bags, pegs, felt tip pens, glitter, pipe cleaners and glue.
 
This activity is designed to celebrate friends and give thanks for our friends. Firstly, decorate the peg; the peg will be the body of the butterfly. You can decorate it with felt tip pens or glitter the peg. Next put some sweets in a food bag and fold it in half, squeeze the middle so your decorated peg will clip on. The food bag with the sweets in will be the wings of your butterfly. Take a pipe cleaner and cut it into two pieces, these will be the antennae of your friendship butterfly. Once your friendship butterfly is complete give it to one of your friends. When you give it to them, tell them all the qualities they have that make them a good friend, e.g.
* they listen to you                          * they are honest with you
* they help and support you          * they forgive you
* they make you laugh                    * they trust you
* they share with you                      * they praise you etc.
