These butterfly flashcard blanks are a great starting point for a butterfly research project. We have taken the 10 most common British butterflies. Ask the kids to draw a picture of the butterfly and fill in the information to create their own lovely flashcards.
Use this colourful poster to spark conversation. Talk about the colours, season, what the children are wearing, how many butterflies you can spot and how many of each type, and so on. Posters like this are great for building vocabulary and conversation skills with younger children.
Count the pictures - all caterpillars and butterflies - and match to the right number card. Alternatively, fold the cards in half down the centre and glue back to back to form double-sided flash cards.
