I have noticed a lot of beautiful butterflies fluttering around outside and this reminds me that Spring has well and truly arrived. With this is mind here are some Art activities you may like to try:

Here is a link to a video to show you how it is done:

Can you use your footprint with some paint to create the wings of a butterfly?

Perhaps you could have a go at making sensory butterflies. For this you will need a plastic food bag, a pipe cleaners and something to fill inside such as pom poms, paint or cut pieces of paper:

Enjoy whatever you create and have fun 🙂
