Step 1

For the butterfly life cycle, you will need to make four pieces: a leaf with eggs, a caterpillar, a chrysalis and a butterfly.

Step 2

Work the Model Magic® in your hands for a bit to soften it up, then shape it into the different pieces.
TIP: You can mix together to get a different shade, or you can even leave it swirled.

Step 3

Attach the four pieces to small sections of sticks if desired.
TIP: You can also display and label the four pieces on wood, cardboard or even a painted canvas board.
