Mrs. Tryon's Class

The students in Mrs. Tryon’s class made perfectly symmetrical butterflies. They drew half of the butterfly, traced it with a crayon, then transferred the image to the other side of the paper by rubbing the image with a wooden block. Making sure to color the design symmetrically as well. The result… some beautiful butterflies!
