We've gathered together all our butterfly themed activities and ended up with
all sorts of butterfly crafts, printables and colouring pages ... something for
all ages!
Butterfly Crafts
Imagine a flurry of these beaded butterflies hanging at the window in summer - so cute! Beaded butterfly craft

Butterfly colouring Craft
Make a mobile or decorate your window when you have coloured in these lovely butterflies.
Printable butterfly mobile
This beautiful butterfly mobile is particularly special if made using printer
acetate, but effective with card too. Older kids can get creative with beads and
sequins for an even more glamorous effect.

Butterfly Origami
Fold an origami butterfly following along with this video. This is a traditional
origami model and some of the folds are a little tricky - it's best for older
children.
