Can I use other types of paint?

Yes! Acrylic or washable paint works well for this project.

What if I don’t have CDs?

Cardstock is a great substitute; you can cut it into a butterfly shape.

It’s great for kids ages 3 and up with adult supervision for cutting.

Kids can use stickers, drawings, or unique color patterns to make their butterflies truly one-of-a-kind.

If using CDs, they can be hung outside, but ensure the paint is fully dry and weather-resistant.

Allow for about an hour including drying time for the paint.

A fun and colorful butterfly craft project for kids that enhances creativity and fine motor skills.
