Butterfly Fable Now this is not a new story, but we have a new way to present it: Buy some cloth-and-wire butterfly wings (same as fairy wings) from a party store that carries costumes. We have two large sets (for those playing the parts of Butterfly Bonnie and Tutterfly Teresa) and one small set (for a child to wear). The three "actors" can act out the fable as it is read. Be sure to encourage applause at the end! This makes a nice grand finale.
