Clay Butterfly Art Project for 1st Grade

Clay butterflies with purple wings and orange edges on a white background, ideal for a 1st-grade art project.

These lovely clay butterflies were made by the 1st graders.  Each student traced their hands to make the wings.  Some of the little parts fell off, so I would recommend making sure that the kids don’t roll their slabs too thin.
