For this project, we cut out simple shapes of butterflies by folding a piece of paper in half, cutting out half the butterfly shape on the fold, and then unfolding the shape so both sides of the butterfly were identical. Then, Maggie painted one side of the butterfly (generously). She then pressed the sides together, so the paint from one side blotted onto the other. Pull the wings back apart quickly or they will stick together. Set the butterflies out, opened, to dry. We decorated the walls of our temporary apartment (with masking tape which peels off w/no damage) while waiting for Josie to be born.
(You may need to fill in the design with a little paint for bold, bright colors).
