Kids just love to play with paint. Give them a brush and paint and just see them go.. Sometimes, with a little guide, we can help them create something nice. Here, we created a footprint butterfly.

Footprint butterfly.

Paint your foot to any colour you wish your butterfly to be. It may be ticklish to some..

Print your foot on a piece of paper.

Paint another foot and print it next to the initial print.

The wings are done.

Paint your finger with any colour to decorate the wings.

Just dot around the wings for added colour.
Have ideas on other art and crafts inspired from hand and footprint? Do share with us here. Thank you.
Remember the fingerprint bees we did not too long ago? Well, let’s develop it a little bit more and create a garden with butterflies and flowers.

Beautiful colourful fingerprint butterfly.

Paint your thumb with the colours of your choice.

Print it onto a paper as the butterfly's wings.

You may add in some flowers, leaves and the bees too.

Once it is all dried up, you will need to help the little ones decorate their garden a little bit using markers.

A beautiful fingerprint garden with butterflies, flowers and bees!

This chubby bee is very easy to do and looks so cute, all kids will love it!

You need to paint the back of one paper plate yellow.

And another paper plate black.


* Cut four stripes of black craft foam and paste onto the yellow paper plate.
* Cut the black paper plate into half and paste it at the back of the yellow plate as wings.
* Use pipe cleaner as the antennae and sting.
* Use googly eyes or stone as the eyes and you’re done!

Chub-bee!
