4. Symmetry “Squish” Painting
This is a fantastic way to teach kids about symmetry. Since a butterfly’s wings are identical on both sides, “squish painting” creates a perfect mirror image every time.
- Materials: White paper, washable paint in tubes.
- Steps:
- Fold a piece of paper in half and open it back up.
- Squeeze several drops of paint on only one side of the fold.
- Fold the paper and press down firmly (the “squish”).
- Open it up to reveal a perfectly symmetrical butterfly!
