After learning about butterflies and talking about how they grow and develop, the children painted their own felt butterflies. The teachers prepped by cutting out the butterfly shapes and attaching a butterfly body to the center and hot gluing on two wiggly eyes.
As children were introduced to the activity, we reviewed the ideas of how a butterfly changes from a caterpillar (like the middle part of the butterfly body) into a butterfly. We also discussed how butterfly wings are all different colors and how they have to "dry" before they can fly.
We placed glitter paints at the table and the children were able to create their very own colorful butterfly.
