Every Thursday A Mommy’s Adventures does a really fun blog carnival every Thursday – read your child a story then accompany it with art!
This book is a fun and colorful 16-page book uses a story of one caterpillar’s change into a butterfly to share the Gospel message with children.
For this week’s craft to go with the story, we made handprint butterflies. Their hands were traced, they glued the butterflies together than with bingo dobbers they decorated them.

What a wonderful idea! So thankful for you sharing! I must join in!! Have a blessed day…

I love your butterfly craft! Definitely going to be trying that with my little ones. I’ll be checking out your homeschooling info, too….trying to make the decision about whether or not to do it in our home.
Stopping by from UBP10. Happy Partying!
Sounds like an awesome book! Must see if I can find it here. Great craft to go along with a great story!
What a great book and activity. I will have to get this book especially now that Little Sweets is so into butterflies.
“Bullfrogs and butterflies, They’ve both been born again! da de da de da Bullfrogs and butterflies, They’ve both been born again!” I’ll have that song in my head the rest of the day now. 🙂 Great craft!
The book looks so cute – as do your butterflies – just adorable!
We are doing butterflies too. I love the craft, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cute!!!
Have a blessed day.

Love handprinted butterflies – butterfly crafts are always a hit here (unless when daughter wants to shred butterfly foam shapes into a salad for her stuffed kitty :))
Found you via UBP10! Love this idea! So fun…
This sounds like such a cute book and I love the hand print butterflies to go with it!

I love how fluttery they turned out! Super cute handprint craft.
Hi nicole! I’m stopping by from the UBP and now I’m following you. What a great site filled with such creative ideas. I LOVE this butterfly-hands idea and will try it on my two toddlers tomorrow. Come join my UBP post when you get a chance.
We also homeschool and love it.
Stopping by from the UBP! I hope you are having a great week.

Cute Butterflies!
Oh, those butterflies are adorable! I homeschool my two little men. Following your beautiful blog on GC and Twitter. I hope we’ll share ideas with one another! 🙂
You are a genius! I was pondering my upcoming weeks and when I saw this butterfly book I realized we have a copy of “Hermie, the Common Caterpillar” that I did not even have set aside for the butterfly week. Thanks for the reminder without realizing you were reminding me! 😉 LOL! Also, I love all the butterfly crafts you have posted on your blog. Great ideas to use! Thanks!
