    Draw several colorful butterflies with Crayola® Washable Markers and Crayola Washable Crayons. Draw several different sizes. Think about markings you have seen on butterflies. What colors and markings are found on butterflies in your area?

    Add flowers, insects, grass, and other natural surroundings. Draw these objects as a butterfly would see them in size. Give your butterflies sparkle, or add dew, with Crayola Glitter Glue.

    Write a story or poem as if you were a butterfly. How do the flowers smell? How tall do trees seem? Where do you like to go?
