Whether you need a spring paper crown or want to brighten up your day, this butterfly headband will do the trick!

Great for toddlers and preschoolers as well as older kids, the insect paper hat is so much fun. I have created a template and it comes with colored and black and white versions.

The colored template is great for a spring or summer birthday party.

The black and white template is perfect for coloring. Let your child’s imagination soar while coloring the butterfly headband – a smiley butterfly with intricate wings on the sides!

If the butterfly is a hit and you need a variation, or would like a variety of insects for your group to choose from, you can also try our bee headband and ladybug headband.

FUN FACTS ABOUT BUTTERFLIES

What makes butterflies amazing? So many things!

Butterflies taste with their feet (home to their taste receptors), are unable to fly in temperatures below 55 F, and their gorgeous wings are actually transparent! The colors we see are composed of incredibly small overlapping scales.

Butterflies can’t fly immediately after emerging – they must pump body fluid into wing veins first, and then take time to rest and let their bodies harden.
