Step 3: Color the Butterfly Let your kids use their creativity to color the butterfly. They can use crayons, markers, or colored pencils. If you have decorative stickers or glitter, this is the perfect time to add them for some extra sparkle.

Step 4: Cut Out the Butterfly Once the butterfly is colored and decorated, carefully cut it out along the lines. This is a great opportunity for children to practice their scissor skills.

Step 5: Create the Hand Band Cut a strip of paper or cardstock that will fit around your child’s wrist. Attach the ends of the strip with glue or tape to form a loop. Make sure it’s snug but not too tight.

Step 6: Attach the Butterfly Using glue or double-sided tape, attach the butterfly to the hand band. Position it so that when your child wears the band, the butterfly looks like it’s flying around their hand.

Step 7: Wear and Enjoy Slide the band onto your child’s wrist. Watch their face light up as they see the butterfly “flying” around their hand. This simple craft is a great way to develop fine motor skills.
