I have had great success with tant paper, 75 mm, which comes in many
tone-in-tone clear color packs and has a nice balance between thinness for the
butterfly effect when you smack it into the air, and stiffness for the ball and
for the satisfying sound when it hits the floor.

I believe “butterfly ball” or the original “butterfly bomb”, the latter my
favorite despite some veterans’ connotations to some real bombs during the
Second World War.
