Hello Friends! It has been awhile, I know. I am sorry I have not been very inspiring these days. I have a full plate at the moment, but I hope you follow my FB page, as I try to post inspiration from others there whenever I can.
I had a few moments tonight and wanted to share a fun spring craft that I have been doing with the kids for a couple years now. I just love celebrating seasons with my children. Talking about it and opening our eyes to the changes around us really make me appreciate each and every season so much more...especially when you are looking through the eyes of a three-year-old.
For the our butterfly print all you need is a heavy weight paper, black fabric (puffy) paint and watercolor paints.
We folded a sheet of paper and opened it up. I helped the kids to draw half of a butterfly using the fabric paint.
We folded out sheet back up and pressed firmly down to spread the paint to the other side.
Do I need say more? She was excited by this part. You open up the paper and have a beautiful butterfly. Hard part is to let the paint dry after this step, but it doesn't take too long.
We used watercolor paints to fill in our butterfly. They came out beautiful and both kids requested to make more. I say that is success!
Happy spring! I will be back more often come April...promise!
I shared this over at
Kiwi Crate. Check it out!
We love working with symmetry! We will have to try this butterfly idea in class - very creative.
