How can we help?

1. Hold the larger wings still and wind the smaller wings around for about 40 full rotations.
2. Place the wound butterfly flat inside a closed card or book.
3. Open the card or book and watch it flutter out!

For best results, let it take off from the card or book rather than releasing it from your hand.

Give it about 40 full turns, place it flat inside a closed card or book, then open it to let it fly. Our tutorial video walks you through each step.
