Color the butterfly as you turn the pages. Materials needed:
Draw out the different shapes and assist the children in cutting them out. Have the children identify the different shapes as they cut them out.
This craft helps children with both literacy and math. Cut a pair of wings from construction paper and on one side write letters that are symmetrical (we used A,M,Y,W,T,H,I,O,V,U). Have the children trace the letters with paint then fold the butterfly in half. Show them that the letters are the same on both sides, and that butterflies wings are the same on both sides, or symmetrical. Have them experiment with different letters to see which ones are symmetrical and which ones are not.
The Butterfly is a very logical creature, both wings are exactly the same! Here is a Butterfly project Mom’s and Dad’s will love! Butterfly Baby Footprints! Materials needed:
Spring is the perfect time for exploration. After reading a book about butterflies have the children create their very own butterflies which you can add to a paper plate or a different material to create butterfly mobiles to hang around the class. This project can be done with any type of material. Fun fact: The world’s largest Butterfly is called the Queen Alexandra Birdwing Butterfly, while the smallest is called the Western Pygmy Blue.
