Instructions for Family Fall Festival Crafts

Following are two videos for instructions on constructing the butterfly craft at the Fall Family Festival.  After the family has gone through the Master Gardener booth of the Stages of Plant Growth,  the family will come to the 4-H trailer.  This is the point where the kids in the family will have the opportunity, with your help to create a butterfly or a caterpillar.  There will be a bowl with a lot of ping pong balls in it.  Each child will choose a ping pong ball.  On the ping pong ball will be either the word - caterpillar or butterfly.  The will determine which critter the child will make.  Only one critter per child.  Mom and or Dad, or adult guardian will have to be present and help.  This is not a rush through activity.  There is plenty of time.  Talk with the participants.  You can even share with them about 4-H.  Don't rush through, the families will wait in line.  Many wait for 20 minutes to have their face painted. 

Please review the videos so you will know what to do when manning the booth.  Thanks in advance.  It should be a great time of fun.
