Colorful Wings Butterfly Craft Montessori Worksheets (4-6 Year Olds)

Many people associate the word crafts with a waste of time. They often think of crafts as grannies' favorite activity and an excellent activity to keep children quiet. Most people never imagine the great benefits of doing crafts or the activity's entertainment value, no matter the age.

When children do crafts, they can develop their skills and, at the same time, have fun while promoting their development. This activity is one of the most complete, beginning by strengthening the hands and fingers' muscles, allowing children to perform daily activities that involve fine motor skills.


Crafts help strengthen children's motor skills and greatly strengthen the mental processes that are directly related to learning. When both arms are used to carry out an activity, both hemispheres of the brain are being stimulated. This does not happen with many activities. The brain is alert to process all the information it perceives and convert it into knowledge. Through crafts, children materialize abstract ideas, organize thoughts, develop attention, concentration, and memory.

Carrying out butterfly crafts with children taking into account the Montessori learning method principles will allow children to organize their ideas, improve their skills through experience and practice, enhance their learning, develop their autonomy and independence, and strengthen their self-esteem.

Easy and fun butterfly craft for preschoolers. Teach kids how to do colorful wings for the butterfly using paper.
