Butterfly Craft Activity

This Butterfly Craft is a fun resource to use during the spring and summer months, as a small or large group activity, or as a class reward! Students will love cutting and pasting their very own butterfly craft while working their fine motor skills. The patterns are kid friendly, easy to prep for teachers, and make a great summer bulletin board!
