Teaching Thursdays: Butterfly Canvas



Have you noticed the footprint trend? Footprints are a new trend that have recently popped up, and can be seen in many craft projects. Footprint projects are perfect for kids to help create. Their feet outlines can be used to create some wonderful shapes, and designs. Tryout this trend by having your kids create this butterfly canvas. Kindra Boroff created this adorable project, with the help of several Apple Barrel paints. For once you can tell your kids to step in the paint, when doing this project.
