About these butterfly pages
Butterflies have both sides of their wings matching, which makes them a great way to teach symmetry: color one wing, then copy the same colors on the other. The easy pages (a simple butterfly, a smiling butterfly, a butterfly on a flower) have thick lines for ages 3 to 6. The medium pages show a butterfly garden, a monarch and the life cycle from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, and the detailed pages are for older kids and adults.
Monarch butterflies are orange with black veins and white spots along the edges. The life-cycle page works well in science lessons: ask children to number each stage.
For more garden pages, see the owl and teens pages.
