Materials
- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Butterfly template
Instructions
- Download the butterfly template, print it, and cut out the pieces.
- Begin by gluing the eyes next to the eyelashes.
- Next, glue the body stripes horizontally across the butterfly’s body. Trim off any excess paper.
- Take the antennae and glue them to the top and back of the butterfly's head.
- Trace your child's hand onto one colored piece of paper two times and then a second colored piece of paper two more times. Cut out the handprints. Now, place the handprints with the thumbs on the bottom and the finger facing outward.
- Slightly overlap the bottom of the prints and glue them together. Now repeat with the other set of handprints.
- Arrange the glued handprints so they are slightly overlapping, with one color on top and the other color underneath. Glue them together in the center to form wings.
- Finish by gluing the body to the center of the hand print wings.
