Baby Basics: Butterflies & Bees!

This week at baby basics we made adorable footprint Bee & Butterfly canvases! This is a super simple craft to try at home but looks adorable! Check out the instructions below!






Supplies:
Paint (we used sparkly poster paint)
Tulle
Black permanent marker
Small Canvas
Paint baby's foot with multiple colours to make the butterfly wings, press onto the canvas. Paint the other foot to match the other wing. Once you've got two wings, draw the body, head and antenae's on. For a wiggly baby, the bees are a little easier because you only have to paint the foot once, as long as you use lots of paint. Press their foot on to the canvas, cut out teardrop shaped wings from the tulle and glue on with liquid white glue.


As usual, our huggies simply clean wipes saved the day!
We got those baby hands and feet cleaned up before they could leave footprints all over!
