After looking at some pictures of butterflies and different vein patterns, my young artists created their own beautiful butterflies. This is a great project for elementary children. For reluctant drawers, I cut out a few stencils to use as a pattern. (FREE pattern below)
Be sure and like my FB page and see the children’s finished masterpieces each week.
What you need:
White Cardstock
Black Cardstock (heavy weight)
Black crayons, White crayons
Watercolors, Cups, Brushes
Glue and Scissors
Butterfly patterns (optional)
Here’s the FREE butterfly pattern:
Written instructions follow the photos, thanks for looking at this project. Happy painting!
This butterfly is a different pattern. I made 3 different samples for them to look at.
