Today’s activity is making hand prints. this will end up being a butterfly and you will need two or three different colored paints. Use black paint to paint the children’s middle finger down to the bottom of the palm. Then use either one or two different colors to fill in the rest of the hand. (I use one color for the girls and another for the boys.) Once the hand is painted have the children press it down on a piece of paper. as soon as the paint is dry draw in the antenea for the butterfly. Then write the some where on the paper,
This isnt just a butterfly
As you can plainly see.
I make it with my hand
Which is a part of me.
It comes with lots of love
Especially to say
I hope you have a very
Happy Mothers Day.
This could even be printed out and then pasted onto the paper.
