Materials Used
- Paint
- White Paper (You’ll likely need at least two pieces, depending on the size of your child’s hands and feet)
- A marker
- Scissors
- Glue
I started by putting paint into two paper plates. I used a single color on one plate and multiple colors on the other. You can use whatever you have on hand to hold the paint.
I helped my daughter dip her foot in the pink paint and put it on the white paper. I then helped her dip her hands in the other paint and onto the white paper. We did each hand print twice so there would be a total of four.
After the paint dried, I cut out the handprints and footprint. I gave them to my toddler to glue on. If you are doing this craft with a young child, you can either do the gluing so that it resembles a butterfly!
To finish this craft, I gave my daughter a marker so that she could give her butterfly eyes and antennas.
