May Handprint Butterfly and Thumbprint Caterpillar

To make Thumbprint Caterpillar: Paint 1 finger or thumb on each hand in a different color; alternate them to form a long body. Add tiny legs, face, & antennas when dry.

To make the Handprint Butterfly: Paint either the index finger or thumb green & press about 6 of them in a vertical line. Next, paint everything on the left hand except the thumb in a color of choice. Press that hand to the left of the green body. Then, repeat using the right hand. You can use fingerprint dots to decorate the wings or decorate however you wish.

Poem:
Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar
Into a corner will creep.
He'll spin himself a blanket,
And then go fast asleep.
Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar
Will wake up by and by.
To find his wings of beauty,
Changed to a butterfly!
