Pour paints in a paper plate. Using brush generously paint one hand using colors of your choice. Press hand down onto paper and make an impression. Using the same technique make an impression of other hand. Draw hearts and family using markers:))

Starting from corner of square start pleating the paper into an accordion fold or zig zag fold (like you are making a fan) till you reach the opposite corner.

When done folding both papers, tie them together from center using pipe cleaner. Insert a small heart shape lollipop in the pipe cleaner. you can also stick the lollipop on a small heart paper using tape.

Bells are not required but my daughter really wanted a jingly butterfly :)) you can use beads too.

On the other butterfly my daughter wrote with black marker and painted colorful hearts. It looks really good.

Picture coming soon when I will get hold of it. She wants to have her own blog...you see...I told her she is just 6 and I can use it for now. She is very particular about her copyrights;))

My daughters are getting really creative and have their own colormehappy workshops at home, which is not bad till you will know it includes cutting all important papers (tags, receipts, bills, mails and coupons) and painting all over the kitchen floor.

I told my older daughter the other day that art comes from heart. Do what you feel like, there is nothing like right or wrong...just let go, have no thoughts and create your own masterpiece. One afternoon, I looked at her and the painted and scribbled kitchen floor.....and she says... Mom I am just trying to be creative and have no thoughts. See, I even shared and gave crayons to my little sister so she does not mess up with paints. Will you put this in your blog? Mine too mommy says the younger one......look at the sun and the moon and this and that scribbled all over the floor. Mom, we are doing teamwork!
I smiled and walked out, thinking nothing just happened. I sure should enjoy these few minutes of teamwork till they last;)

For this project all you need is

Pencil

Card stock

Markers

Paints

Brush

Draw a heart and trunk using pencil. Use heart stencil if needed.
Dip brush in colors of your choice and dab it on the paper (in heart shape) and fill the heart. Fill color in tree trunk and personalize using markers.
You can also fill the heart using markers, crayons, construction paper (mosaic art) or stickers.
