Butterfly symmetry pictures

Printed from: https://finalhbks.asgoodasready.com/nature-activities/butterfly-symmetry-pictures/

Get creative  and learn about butterflies!

  1. Fold a piece of plain paper in half and open it out again.
  2. Squirt, drip or drop different coloured paint one ONE half of the paper (not too much or things will get messy!).
  3. Fold the paper in half again so the paint squishes together, press down quite hard to get the best print.

You can draw round the outline of your symmetrical butterfly print with a black marker, or add some glitter.

Look at a butterfly identification website or books. Which butterfly is yours most like?
