This easy kids craft is perfect for spring! Have your child create a bunch of colorful butterflies using wooden spoons and paint.

Craft Supplies:

Wooden Craft Spoons
Craft Paint
Paint Brushes
Cardstock or Scrapbook Paper
School Glue
Pencil or Marker
Basic Craft Scissors
Small Wiggle Eyes

Directions:

First the fun part! Have children paint their wooden spoons however they like. No real rules on this part – let them have fun!
Once done, set them all aside to let them dry completely.
While those are drying, have children trace/cut out their handprint wings for the butterflies {two per butterfly} as well as some antennas from the cardstock paper.
To finish off the Wooden Spoon Butterflies – simply glue the handprint cutouts to the back of the wooden spoon to create wings, as well as gluing on the antennas & wiggle eyes.
Then add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc.} to finish it off and really give them some flair!
To display, you can add magnets to the back or hot glue some string for easy hanging!
