Perhaps the simplest work of a butterfly made of paper is the application of fingerprints of children's pens. Such a butterfly from colored paper can be done with a baby 2-3 years. In addition, it will be interesting to look at this craftsman several years later, when the baby grows up. To begin with, attach the child's pen to the sheet of paper and circle it with a simple pencil. This pattern needs to be cut in two copies of two colors. We paste the wings from the palms of the hands onto a piece of paper. Next, cut out the oval and glue it to the junction of the wings. Everything else is a matter of your imagination. You can cut out the eyes, antennae, stripes and decorate the wings of the butterfly with colored paints.
