Butterfly Coloring Craft
My build a butterfly coloring craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep spring activity for 1st and 2nd grade. 3 templates ensure that every butterfly activity on your Spring bulletin board is unique! Post your butterfly crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging first day of spring display.
If you’re racing to figure out what cute project to quickly put up in the hallway for the spring season, look no further. Students can complete the craft part in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your projects.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the template. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!

This First Day of Spring activity is absolutely fantastic! The butterfly art project is not only beautiful but also very engaging for my students. The template provided was easy to use, and my students loved expressing their creativity while learning about spring themes. I also appreciate the inclusion of art sub plans, which made it a perfect resource for those days when I need to be away from the classroom. The detailed instructions made it simple for a substitute to follow, ensuring that the students had a productive and fun day. I highly recommend this resource for any teacher looking to celebrate the arrival of spring with a meaningful and creative project!
