Symmetry is when two parts of a whole are exactly identical.
This is called theLine of Symmetry.
Take for example a heart.
It has one line of symmetry.
Humans are even symmetrical.
Yes, you and me.
We have a Line of Symmetry that can be drawn straight down the middle of us.
What animals in nature can you think of that are symmetrical?
Lets think of a few.
Why not get some books out or look on the internet to help them find some.
What do they see looking at the butterflies?
Are each of their wings the same as the other?
Do they have a Line of Symmetry?
Does this mean they are symmetrical?
Fully grown butterflies need flowers to feed on, so plant some nectar flowers.
Do some research to see what butterflies live in your area and what flowers they like to feed on.
They like eat and rest in the sun (who doesnt enjoy eating in the sun?!
), so plant the flowers in a place the sun will hit them.
Keep the soil moist as they like to drink water from moist areas.
Did you know they love eating citrus fruit like oranges and pineapples too.
Giving back to nature doesnt have to be complicated.
It is simple but a very effective way to teach the subject of symmetry.
Symmetry is beautiful and each butterfly you create will be a unique masterpiece illustrating just this.
