Like most 5 year old girls, Emily adores butterflies. Today we painted butterflies and I introduced the concept of symmetry. To make your own butterfly painting, start with a sheet of paper, and fold it in half.

A beautiful job! You and your daughter have a lot of talent.
thanks so much for the idea, I have to try this with my daughter 🙂
Neat idea…we are very into butterflies & painting around here, so what a fun way to introduce a new concept! Thanks!
I’ve never heard of watercolor markers. Your daughter made a beautiful picture with them. I will have to find some of these markers for myself.
@ Ivy — Thank you, that is so sweet!
@ Clemencia — You’re welcome, and I would love to hear about it. I bet she would love it!
@ Jennifer — You’re welcome! Have fun!!
@ Jennifer — I had never seen them either, but I think they work better than watercolor pencils and they were very affordable. They were with the kids art stuff at Blick Art Supply. I had fun with them too!
Great post and beautiful butterflies!! This will be our project today!! Loved it!
Wonderful idea~ good for babysitting too. I will have to show this to my daughter who is 11 and beginning to babysit. She’s taken her babysitting class and CPR. Now she needs to build up a creative fun kit for the kids to enjoy.
Thanks for a wonderful idea.
love this hands on art lesson that also easily teaches math
