Activity ideas

 

Mirror butterfly painting

Draw a butterfly shape, cut around outline, fold in half, paint on one side, print onto other. Look at it’s lovely patterns and colours!

 

Finger paint a caterpillar/ or use a toilet/kitchen roll holder to print circles for the body using paint.

 

You could also cut out your caterpillar when it is dry, and cut two finger holes into the middle of it to make a puppet!

 

How long will your caterpillar be?

What will your caterpillar like to eat at home?
