Butterflies and Symmetry

butterfly craft

Your students and children will love making this 3D butterfly from the page in our Pond Coloring Club today! 

They will color or paint before cutting and gluing it together. There are lines to trace, dots to count and you can discuss symmetry as they complete the wings.

Why not take the opportunity to:
  • read some books about caterpillars 
  • research butterflies
  • go outside and observe things in the air - talk about things that move and things that float - let students do a 15 minute observation and count the things they see moving or floating

If you're not yet a member of our club, we'd love to have you! Find out all about it on the website



If you would like your students to explore symmetry with more math experiences, you may also like our pattern block activity cards. They will arrange shapes to make a design with a line of symmetry.
