Butterfly Handprint Craft

This kids handprint craft is a colorful activity to keep the kids busy and celebrate the Spring and Summer season. This handprint card uses a few different textures and is such a fun introductory craft for preschoolers but is still fun for the older kids as well. We love to use a few different craft supplies when working on our kid crafts. The more texture you can add to a kid’s project the better! Tiny hands learn to make a handprint, glue gems to the butterfly “wings,” and draw on a smile. Add a soft touch with the antennas and they will have a blast playing with the different elements.

Here are the Supplies needed for the Butterfly Handprint Craft:

You only need a few basic craft supplies to get started! We added gems to our butterflies to add a pop of color and fun but if you don’t have any just skip it! You can find gems at your local craft stores, Walmart or even some Dollar stores.

Paint, in your desired colors
Paper, in your desired colors
Googly Eyes,
Pipe Cleaners
Sharpie Marker
Gems, optional but we love them!
