You have a few butterfly template printables, butterfly tracing printables, and butterfly dot marker printables. There are 18 pages of butterfly fine motor mat printables.<\/p>\n You have three shapes of butterflies with a side template and both wing templates. You have a blank one, a butterfly with shapes and butterfly outlines that you can use with kids.

You have the outline of the to trace and then the butterfly with shapes on the wings to trace.<\/p>\n You have the same three butterfly with dot markers on them.

And you can use some or all or do something completely different. But these are great for spring and a butterfly theme. And you can also check out the printable butterfly bracelets<\/a> to make with kids as well!<\/p>\n These are a few ideas to use the butterfly template with kids.<\/p>\n the butterfly template works great as a coloring page. You can use crayons or markers to color the parts of the butterfly.<\/p>\n You can talk about symmetry as well while coloring and do both sides of the wings the same.<\/p>\n You can use the template to help with a torn paper butterfly craft. Kids can tear up the paper and then paste it on the butterfly. A great way to work on fine motor skills.<\/p>\n Here are some suggestions to use the butterfly tracing printables in fine motor learning centers.<\/p>\n You can use pencils and a butterfly for a fine motor tracing center. it is great way to work on prewriting without using letters. You can trace a simple butterfly or a more complex butterfly.<\/p>\n You can see we use a pencil and pencil grip to set up the tracing center.<\/p>\n Another great idea is to trace the butterfly with crayons and then color the butterfly. You have three to pick from and kids might like to do a different one.<\/p>\n You can see how we outlined the butterfly and then colored in the area we traced. It was loads of fun to see the colors come up in the butterfly.<\/p>\n You can also reuse the butterfly tracing worksheets. All six butterflies can be used this way. You can put the butterfly in a sheet protector and then use dry erase markers to trace the lines of the butterfly.<\/p>\n A simple way to reuse the page. Just wipe it off between kids and have them trace at it again.<\/p>\n The dot markers pages are always fun to use in fine motor centers. You can see how we used the butterfly dot marker pages.<\/p>\n Okay the most obvious is to use them with dot markers. Yes the circles on the butterfly work great for a butterfly theme. You can also use glass gems on the butterfly. We did black and orange but you could use any colors you want.<\/p>\n Kids get great fine motor as they place the glass gems in each of the circles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n You have 12 fun spring fine motor mats together in a fun bundle. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click here to buy the Spring Fine Motor Mat Printables at Teachers Pay Teachers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click here to buy the Spring Fine Motor Mat Printables at Teachers Pay Teachers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Butterfly No-Prep Weekly Packs<\/a> are another set of no-prep weekly packs that are great for spring and summer.
