Tips for Butterfly Crafting

  • Symmetry Lesson: Use these crafts to talk about symmetry! Encourage kids to make both sides of the butterfly’s wings identical in color and pattern.

  • Display: If you make enough, hang them all on a string across a wall to create your own “butterfly migration” display!
