Butterfly Activities & Books for Kids

Did you know that there are over 750 different types of butterflies in the United States and Canada? And that’s just the ones that people have recorded. There are still thousands of species of butterflies and moths, all over the world, that still need to be recorded, and many more that we haven’t even discovered yet! But we do know that no spring or summer would be the same without them! Children and adults alike are enchanted by butterflies. And what’s not to love? Brightly colored and beautiful, they are like flowers that know how to fly. And they are important pollinators, too

If you are on the lookout for some beautiful Butterfly activities for your elementary school classroom, you’ll definitely want to check out this blog post. I have some great things to share – like wonderful books about butterflies that your students will enjoy reading, and some lovely ideas for Springtime bulletin boards, too. You’ll even find some fun Butterfly Math puzzles that your elementary students will actually want to work on!

Butterfly Activities and Math Fun

Let’s start off with these super cute and fun Butterfly math resources. Every teacher knows that the best way to get those basic math skills ingrained into the minds of their students is with practice, practice, practice. But when students get bored, it can be really challenging to get them engaged and working. That’s why puzzles like these adorable Butterflies are so great. When students see that there is some fun involved, they are much more interested in doing the work. And with four different types to choose from – covering the four basic Math skills – you can make sure that all of your students can work on the skills they most need to practice!

Various Butterfly math activities are available below. Click on the one/s that are most appropriate for your students.

What Teachers Are Saying About Butterfly Activities

People who have bought my Butterfly activities have said:

  • This was such a challenge for my firsties, but it was GREAT! They loved that a beautiful butterfly was the finished product. Perseverance was a new word we got to use during this project!!
  • Love ! Love ! Love! So engaging and my kiddos LOOOOVVEEE it!!!
  • Love these puzzles to use at centers!
  • Great resource that is both fun and helping them practice their math skills – win/win to me!
  • This was a great way for students to practice their facts with an added challenge! They were SO excited when they finished and had a completed butterfly!
  • Really fun! Keeps the kids engaged independently. They look cute when they’re finished. Challenging, but not tricky.

Also Great for Decor!

When classrooms are decorated for the seasons, it brightens everyone’s spirit. And kids really love it when they get to help make some of those decorations themselves. That’s one of the things that are so great about these butterfly puzzles. Just think about how wonderful all those completed puzzles, freshly colored in all the colors of the rainbow, would look in your classroom.

You can even combine them with my flower puzzles to make a lovely springtime mural! These puzzles make GREAT bulletin boards, doorway decorations, or even hallways displays! Your students can cut them out, complete their puzzles, and then color their happy butterflies any way they can imagine. The finished displays are simply stunning. And even better, the principal can’t complain that these aren’t academic enough, because students work so hard putting their puzzles together!
