    A blank sheet of paper (the bigger, the better!)

    Your favourite paints (Bright colours work best!)

    A paintbrush or even your fingers for extra fun!

    Step 2: Let’s Do The Magical Fold! 📄🌟

    Take your blank paper.

    Fold it in half like a book. Crease it nicely!

    Open it up again. Now, you’ve got two halves!

    Step 3: Paint Your Dream Butterfly Wing! 🎨✨

    Dream of the most magical butterfly you can think of!

    On ONE half of the paper, start painting the butterfly’s wing.

    Use swirls, dots, stripes, and any design your heart desires!

    Remember, there’s no right or wrong here, just pure imagination!

    Step 4: The Magical Transformation! 🦋✨

    Once your masterpiece is done on one side, fold the paper back like in step 2.

    Press down gently all over, especially where the paint is.

    Feel the magic happening under your fingers!

    Step 5: The Grand Reveal! 🎉 – Your Colourful Butterfly Painting

    Slowly and with great excitement…unfold your paper!

    Ta-da! You now have two beautiful, symmetrical butterfly wings!

    Can you believe it? One side looks just like the other, all thanks to your magical touch!

    Step 6: Add Finishing Touches (Optional)

    You can paint a cute butterfly body in the center.

    How about some glitter for extra sparkle?

    Or even draw a magical land where your butterfly can fly!

    Try painting a whole butterfly on the first half, so when you open it up, you have a matching pair of beautiful colourful butterfly paintings
