Learn About Butterflies Day – March 14th Did you know that Canada has a national butterfly? Can you guess what it is called? Hint: It has orange, black and white coloured wings! (Answer below). Did you figure it out? See if you were right at the bottom of the page.
Butterfly Craft: Print and cut out the shapes on this page (always ask a parent before using scissors). Then, colour or paint your own design on the body and wings. Thicker paper works best for the body. If you have recyclables or craft supplies at home, you can try making your own with a popsicle stick or water bottle for the body and pipe cleaners for the antennae and then colour or paint the wings. Have fun creating! Education Country Heritage Park www.countryheritagepark.com Answer: The Monarch butterfly. Did you know the Monarch flies all the way to Mexico for the winter?
