I remembered doing this in school growing up but had forgotten about it. A quick easy craft project to do with the kids.


Material

  • Blue, Green, Yellow, Red Poster Paints
  • 1 Paper

Method

  1. Lay down some Newspaper on the floor and prepare a few different coloured paints.
  2. Grab a piece of white paper and fold it in half. Unfold it and then dab a few different coloured paints down the center fold. Fold paper back in half.
  3. Press down on the paper and smooth and rub the paper together from the folded side out. Open and see your pretty butterfly! Set to fry then hang on the fridge
