Press your thumb into an ink pad and then onto the center of a practice paper. Practice pushing a thumb straight down and then lift it straight up so the thumbprint doesn’t smudge.

Decide what butterfly lifecycle stage to create.
How many thumbprints will you need?
Draw details like legs, antennae or a face with a fine-tipped marker or a crayon.
