NGA Exclusive! Butterfly wings are captivating things. Collaborating with staff from the U.S. Botanic Garden, we've developed a kit that provides educators and students with a terrific activity that draws kids' attention to butterflies' varied wing shapes, patterns, and colors and the purposes they serve. Students can each create a unique butterfly with wings, antennae, legs, and proboscis, then may practice "pollinating" flowers by blowing out the proboscis in their outdoor classroom. We've included a sheet of fun butterfly facts and educational explorations along with illustrated instructions. The kit also includes 25 blow-outs, 75 pipe cleaners, and butterfly wing templates (monarch, buckeye, swallowtail, and 1 blank). Finished butterflies measure approximately 10"x14"w. This is a great way for kids to learn about butterflies while having fun! Makes 25 butterflies.
