 Paper
Butterflies: Fold a piece of paper in half. Open the paper and
drop small amounts of paint on half of the paper. Fold the paper
in half again and rub your hand across the paper to spread the
paint colors that are inside the folded paper together. With
the paper still folded, cut out the shape of one side of a butterfly.
Unfold the paper to see both sides of the butterfly. Allow the
paint to dry, then draw the body and add antennae if you wish. |
 Here
is an idea to use indoors on a rainy spring day, or outside
when it is clear. Make an obstacle course – this
idea can be adapted for any age group. Gather chairs, tables,
boxes, stools, traffic cones, etc. and arrange them with the
children to create places to climb on, crawl through, and go
under and around. Try different variations; invite friends over
to try it too. |
