Personalize Your Babys Nursery

Decorators can personalize a baby’s butterfly nursery with adorable handprint butterflies for each month of the new baby’s life. This easy project can be completed in a matter of minutes and will be a great addition to the scrap book once the nursery theme changes.

1. Trace each of the baby’s hand prints on two colors of construction paper.
2. Cut out the two sets of hand prints.
3. Paste them onto card stock or mat board, one color for the upper wings, and the other color for the lower wings.
4. Draw a butterfly body with antenna, then cut and paste to complete the picture.

Parents can help toddlers and older kids personalize the butterfly room by making beautiful tissue paper butterflies to add depth to the bedroom’s walls, and brighten the windows.

1. Stack two pieces of construction paper on top of each other and fold in half.
2. While the paper is still folded, cut one side of wings then unfold to reveal a symmetrical butterfly.
3. Refold the butterflies and cut shapes from the wings as if making a paper snowflake.
4. When finished, paste colored tissue paper or tin foil pieces on the backside of one butterfly to show through the patterns cut into the wings.
5. When all the holes are filled, paste the second construction paper butterfly over the tissue paper to finish off the back.
6. Fold a piece of pipe cleaner in half and twist together over the middle of the wings.
7. Curl the tops of the pipe cleaner to form antenna then tie fishing line for hanging.

Parents and kids will also enjoy scoping out a bunch of butterfly illustrations from magazines and picture books at the used book store. They can clip favorite photos with their child and use the pictures to decoupage accent pieces for the room such as pencil cans, plaques for the wall, a table and chairs, or nightstand. Touches like these make a butterfly theme room feel special and fill it with happy memories.
