What You’ll Do
To begin, print out the butterfly dot art printable. Next, gather up some qtips and your choice of paint. Once you have everything you need, invite your child to sit down at the table with you and get started!
Pour paint in the paint palette. You can use as many or as few colors as you’d like. You can use a wide variety of colors or you can make a monochromatic butterfly with shades of the same color.
Dip one end of a qtip in the paint. Direct them to start adding color to the dots on the butterfly. As they fill in the dots, they can watch the butterfly begin to take shape.
With this fun and easy project, your child will be proud to display their very own work of art. So get creative and have fun! Qtip butterfly dot art is a perfect summertime activity for kids.

RESOURCES I LOVE
This wooden butterfly puzzle brain game will promote hand-eye coordination, develop problem-solving skills and improve matching skills. In addition, it can stimulate a child’s imagination and creativity.
This beautiful butterfly lacing toy is great for practicing the sewing motion. It’s made of solid cherry wood, and finished with my homemade organic beeswax polish. The “needle” is attached to the natural cotton “thread” to make it easy to poke through the holes.
