DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Handprint Butterfly Craft
Yet another craft that uses handprints (I love 'em!!). This one
takes a bit more work than a normal one because you need to assemble the
wings (5 handprints each).
Check out the Handprint
Poems on the site if you would like to include one with the craft. |

Materials:
 | paper (for handprints) - 3 different colors of construction paper work
well. |
