Let's go butterfly watching!

Choose a spot where you think you will see several different butterflies.

When you get a good look at an interesting butterfly, draw a picture of it and then try to describe it. As you are drawing, you might want to think about these questions:

  • What colors did you see on the butterfly?
  • Did you see any designs or patterns on the butterflies' wings?
  • How could you include them in your picture?
  • Did you get to see the butterfly's head?

When you are finished, look at all of your pictures. How are these butterflies the same? How are they different?
