🦋 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
These picture cards are the perfect starting point for butterfly study because they focus purely on observation without the pressure of reading labels. Young children can compare wing shapes, notice color patterns, and discuss what makes each butterfly unique. This visual foundation makes later label-matching far easier—children already know the butterflies by sight, so reading their names becomes meaningful rather than arbitrary.
