Colouring ideas

Colour the butterfly wings orange with the spots left white, then shade the marigold petals from yellow at the centre to deep orange at the edges.

Monarch butterflies from Canada and the United States fly thousands of kilometres to spend the winter in the mountain forests of central Mexico.

Ask your child why a butterfly might visit a flower, and talk about how butterflies drink nectar.
