Beautiful butterfly wings

A butterfly's left and right wings look so much alike, it's hard to tell that they are not identical. You can make a butterfly with matching wings, too. You'll need paints a black pencil, crayon or marker, and some white paper.

1. Fold the paper in half. Open it and use your pencil, crayon or marker to draw a butterfly. Be sure the fold goes right down the middle of its body

2. Use your paints (markers or crayons won't work) to create a wing on one half of your butterfly. Make sure you don't paint the wing on the other side of the fold.

3. As soon as you've finished painting the wings on one half of your butterfly, carefully fold the paper, and press the two sides together. Open slowly to see your butterfly with matching wings.

Great job! It's BEAUTIFUL!
