YouTube: How to Draw a Butterfly
Easy Kids Drawing: How to Draw a Butterfly teaches kids how to draw a rather simple butterfly. This particular drawing series is one of my kids’ favorites. The instructions are easy to follow, and the person giving the instructions really does a good job of encouraging kids to try new things and even use their own imagination to make their drawings unique.
