Slip an enchanting surprise into your next birthday card, wedding card, or book and wind up the Magic Butterfly.

This charming accessory is the perfect companion to announcements, celebrations, and gifts. Simply wind up the paper butterfly and place it inside your card or book. When opened, the butterfly zips out and flutters in the air.

The rubber-band-powered wonder may not actually be magically enchanted, but the unexpected delight makes a special occasion even more special.

A welcome surprise

The Magic Butterfly is a memorable way to add a colorful accent to your next gift. Your recipient will open their card or book with a delightful gasp as they’re greeted with a floating friend.

The Magic Butterfly can be used in multiple ways. At your next wedding, coordinate the release of multiple Magic Butterflies to give the bride and groom an exit they’ll never forget (and that beats rice being thrown at them). If you’re in a mischievous mood, put the surprise toy inside a textbook or other reading material for a whimsical prank.

Watch wonder take flight.

Take flight

The Magic Butterfly’s simple design uses nothing more than a rubber band, paper wings, and a wire frame to create an imaginative display.

Wind the toy by turning the front wings, thereby twisting the rubber band. Place the butterfly in a card or book while holding the wings down and close it. When your recipient opens their gift, the butterfly springs to life and uses the stored tension to flutter in the air.

You won’t need a net to capture your colorful creature; find where it landed and wind it back up as many times as you want.
