Butterfly Origami – Origami Out Of Printer Paper

Folding origami out of printer paper that you color yourself is one way to make origami a little bit differently.

My husband and his father are both really talented in folding origami. They both have the patience and fascination for that and can fold a lot of different animals.

Right now my husband’s parents are visiting from Colombia and we spend a lot of time as a family with them. During the last couple of weeks I have been reminded of the fact that they are very good at folding origami.

I am a person that likes to do creative things but when it comes to origami I only have patience for the easy projects.

One easy origami project is to fold butterflies. Last year we published a blog post with a free printable A4 to color your own butterfly and fold it into a butterfly.

That blog post has been one of our most popular blog posts from last year so now that spring is in full bloom I thought it could be fun to post another free printable similar to the previous one but with a different pattern.

Free Butterfly Coloring Pages

The Google core updates lately, have really affected our Google traffic these last couple of years but before that, our butterfly coloring pages were very popular on Google.

I will leave a link here to the blog posts that we published earlier with coloring pages with butterflies. Here you go: https://underbartskapad.com/category/free-printable-coloring-pages/butterfly-coloring-pages/

There are so many different kinds of butterflies and the color combinations you can use to color them are so many so I understand that butterfly coloring pages are really popular.

The Butterfly Fascination Of Small Children

Our youngest daughter will turn three years old this summer and she is in the middle of a phase when she is fascinated by butterflies. And she has also understood that butterflies are something really beautiful and precious.

She likes to call herself a butterfly, I think she does that because she sees butterflies as pretty and something that people appreciate. I like the confidence she has in that.

Small children really have the gift to teach us older people about the beauty of life, to slow down, and to appreciate the beauty around us. I am still learning, even if I have spent most of my last 8 years at home with children. But slowing down and appreciating the beauty in small things is something most of us tend to forget as we get older.

The Beauty In Small Things

Instead of always trying to get our children to follow our pace in life, I think we have a lot to learn when we choose to follow their pace instead.

I am fully aware that there are many days when this isn’t possible but in the moments when we can slow down and follow the pace fo our young children, I think we should enjoy it to the full instead of letting our own way of doing things be the norm that we strive for.

These last few months I have been thinking that maybe children, with their unhurried way of living just reflect very much on how we are created. In the Bible, we can read about how God created this earth and everything in it and saw how good it was. God was so happy with everything that he had made.

Often I tend to think the same thing about God as I might think about my children on hurried days, that He is too slow and that if I could choose the timing of things, it would be a lot better. But maybe that is just another sign that we actually were created for a more slow-paced life?!

Enjoy Doing Creative Things

One way of slowing down is to do something creative, so if you, just like me, are trying to find ways to slow life down, feel free to look around at this website for inspiration on different kinds of creative ideas.

We keep designing and posting new coloring pages so if you have any suggestions on what kind of coloring pages you would like to see from us in the future, please leave a comment.

We hope that you are having a really beautiful spring and that you will find time to enjoy the beauty of the season.

Hope to see you again soon!

Many greetings from us at Wonderfully Made
