Real Life British Butterflies

The Real Life British Butterflies set brings the ephemeral beauty of the meadow into the hands of young learners. Each piece in the set is modeled after a specific species native to Britain, providing a high-quality visual reference for "Understanding the World" lessons. Children can use these models to learn about symmetry, colour theory, and the specific markings that differentiate one butterfly from another. Because they are 3D and tactile, they are more engaging than simple photographs. These models can be integrated into sensory bins filled with flowers or used as props when reading about life cycles and metamorphosis. Their sturdy construction means they can be used for a unique "butterfly stack" challenge, testing children's patience and motor control. By engaging with these replicas, children develop a sense of awe for nature and are motivated to look for the real-life counterparts during outdoor play sessions.
