Wooden Craft Spoons – one per butterfly puppet
Craft Paint {in various colors!}

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.
