Description
Kids love watching nature, let's make it easy for them to see it. Attract butterflies to your yard with homemade butterfly food and keep it in this cute container near your garden, flowers, and trees. A simple box made with popsicle sticks, glue, and paint holds a sponge soaked with butterfly food.
Glue popsicle sticks together and let dry. Paint the outside with bright colors (butterflies are attracted to bright colors) and decorate the containers to look pretty in your garden.
Line the bottom of the container with foil to avoid getting the bottom wet. Change out the sponge every few days and watch the butterflies from your window.

Directions
- Prepare sugar paste: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and cup of cold water. Add boiling water. Stir to combine and let come to room temperature.
