Learning about... Butterflies






Our lavender bush has drawn the prettiest butterflies and bees. I got these snaps of a monach, and that made it the perfect day to use the "Learning About Butterflies" books that I got for the girls. Check it out:

Here's a little activity book that will delight youngsters interested in one of nature's most delicately beautiful creatures—the butterfly. The easy-to-read text provides information (range, habitat, distinguishing characteristics, etc.) about 12 different species:
Giant Swallowtail
Orange Sulphur
Monarch
Diana
Question Mark
Baltimore
Buckeye
Red-spotted Purple
Long-tailed Skipper
Mourning Cloak
Common Blue
Colorado Hairstreak
Also included on each page is a space for one of 12 accurate, detailed stickers depicting the butterflies described. Youngsters simply place the full-color stickers on the pages with the appropriate text and they have an instant guidebook for home or classroom use.
