How to Create a Rainbow Finger Paint Butterfly Craft
Painted Butterfly Supplies
- white card stock or paper
- washable finger paint or acrylic paints
- safety scissors
- pen
Step 1. Fold Paper
Fold white paper in half horizontally.
Step 2. Set up Paint
Pour a little of each color of the rainbow on the paper in different spots on one half of the paper. An apron and some plastic to cover your workspace would be a good idea.
Step 3. Paint
Finger paint using several different colors. Let them paint but no long enough to make mud.
Step 4. Fold & Press
Fold the paper together and press together. Then unfold the paper carefully. Let paint dry.
Step 5. Butterfly
Draw a butterfly shape using a pen and cut out. For toddlers and younger children without the scissor or drawing skills the adult will need to do this step.
Finished Rainbow Finger Paint Butterfly Craft
You can have the child add a black body. You can also talk about symmetry and a line of symmetry. A line of symmetry is the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly. A line of symmetry is also know as reflection symmetry.
These washable paints worked great! My 2 year old loves to paint. She gets it on her clothes and it washes right out. Comes in a rainbow assortment great for other rainbow and spring crafts.
