Painted symmetrical butterflies

These painted butterflies were so much fun to make. 

The papers were pre-folded to help the process go more smoothly. 

The kids squeezed paint onto one side of the paper.  We carefully folded the paper in half again. 

The kids squished and pressed and rolled to make sure the paint passed to the other side of the paper. 

When we opened it up "Ooh. Aaah."  Amazing!

After it dried we folded again and cut it into a butterfly shape. 

Open up again and ....

These will go in our growth chart garden!
