I have two hands… the left and the right! Perfect for the wings of a beautiful butterfly!

There must be 20 or more crafts for kids on butterflies! I wanted to do them all but I think the kids would walk out on me if I made them do all. So, my partner and I settled with handprint butterflies! It’s really simple to make and easy to prepare.
