Hand Print Butterflies

Resources

A4 coloured paper or plain
Scissors
crayons or felt pens
pom poms
wooden stick
pipe cleaner,
googly eyes,
glue stick or pva glue

Steps:

Step 1: Fold the paper in half

Step 2: Place the child’s hand on the folded edge of the paper. The folded edge has to be in the middle of the palm. Trace around the hand print.

Step 3: Cut out the hand print.

Step 4: Open the paper hand print and let the child colour a pattern or decorate the butterfly wings on both sides using crayons or felt tip pens.

Step 5: Cut a piece of the pipe cleaner and fold it in to a V shape, we are now making the butterfly body starting with the antennae.

Step 6:Roll each end of the V to make a little spiral and stick it on the top of the lolly stick

Step 7: Add glue on the wooden stick and stick the 3 pompoms to be the butterfly body. Start with a bigger pom pom that is going to be the butterfly’s head.

Step 8: Stick on the googly eyes THEN attach the body to the hand print.

Step 9: Hold the end of the stick and make the wings flutter as it flies through the air.
