You can do this creative activity with your children. Even if very small they can assist you prepare pieces of paper that you will assemble to create these butterflies.
The butterfly is inseparably associated with our own transformation. It is a symbol for an incredible change, happening internally. Just as we know ourselves more and more, we may evolve and change, gradually bringing colored wings to our own life.
From a larvae to a caterpillar, and then becoming a splash of incredible colors, the butterfly will spread its delicate wings and begin to fly. I wish you to experience this internal transformation. Whichever stage you may now be at, be confident that your wings will be uniquely beautiful!
Now let’s get creative!
What you need:
- hard white paper, ideally A3 format,
- watercolors or other favorite colors that easily fill the entire area of white paper (for small children washable finger colors are ideal),
- scissors,
- glue stick,
- good mood is a big plus.
Procedure:
- Paint the white paper with different colors or shades of one color. Colors can be mixed as you wish, what is important is to fill the entire area of your paper.
Prepare few pages with different colors or shades. This preparatory work is really great when done with children as they will love to assist you and nothing really can go wrong at this stage.
Let these painted papers dry. - Cut 4 ovals from the white paper to create the wings, bodies and antennas.
- Now cut out and glue your painted paper onto the hard paper
- On a large white paper, assemble all body parts to create the shape of your butterfly
- Last touch, add some patterns to the wings by gluing colored circles onto them.
This is it! Your butterfly can now safely take off and cheerfully fly!
