Have the children walk around and pretend they are flying like bumble bees. You can have then hold a picture of a bumble bee they have colored or they can put their arms out as if they were wings.
Hand Butterfly or Hand Butterfly Shadow
Have the children make a butterfly by placing
their
thumbs together and move their other fingers like the wings of a
butterfly.
Have them make their shadows between a lamp and a light colored wall or
door.
Note: Younger children may not understand how to do it so let them do it however they like. It may not look like a butterfly to you but it is to them.
