Start by arranging six cotton pads in a circular shape for each flower and one in the center. Then glue them firmly to the brown craft paper.
Use a green marker or paint to draw stems and leaves beneath the flowers. You then cut small leaf shapes from cotton pads or green paper and glue them onto the stems.
Create a butterfly using one whole cotton pad for the body and four cut-out petals for the wings. Glue on googly eyes and two small pom-poms as antennae.
In separate cups, mix water with different food colors to make vibrant petal paints.
Using droppers, gently add a few drops of each color onto the cotton pads and watch the colors spread. You should encourage kids to experiment with blending, mixing yellow and blue, for example, to make green.
