Sharing Butterfly

Cut butterflies out of white construction paper, and glue them to craft sticks. Give each child a butterfly, a single sheet of colored tissue paper and some glue. Ensure each child has a different color piece of tissue. Help the children tear off pieces of their tissue paper and glue them to their butterflies. Explain to them how much more colorful their butterflies would be if they were kind and shared their colors. Encourage them to pass their sheets around to each other to create more colorful butterflies.
