• For each hand, trace child’s hand onto three different colored construction papers x 2 and cut out.
• Layer them, cutting away parts of the hand so that you have a multi-colored hand (wing).
• Place them in place of the butterfly wings using this butterly coloring page as a template.
• Cut out the butterfly’s body and place on top.
• Cut a circle for the head. Add the antannae, eyes and a smile.
• Once you have everything in place, glue onto a
  “spring” background page of scrapbook paper, such as one with flowers.
• Add the above poem – place in a purchased frame or have the child create a homemade frame.
