Exploring Butterfly Symmetry with an Algorithm activity set is part of a celebration of a week’s worth of bug and insect worksheets. Please check out the other bugs and insect printables in this series. The set has a lot of text on the Blockly coding blocks that feature each step of the coloring directions. This makes this set better for older children. However, there is a set of butterfly algorithm pages available here on the blog that will be great for younger children.
Getting the Butterfly Symmetry Set
This set is a PDF. When you download it, you will need to open it with a PDF reader. Acrobat Reader is a popular reader that you can download to use. You probably have it on your computer already.
Building Background
Before you start exploring the challenge cards, you may want to read a book that features symmetry. Below you will find a number of fun symmetry books.

Exploring the Butterfly Symmetry Pages
You can work on these pages with your child or have them work on their own. If you haven’t read one of the books above, you will want to walk them through what symmetry is before they start coloring.
There are pages that have patterns on the butterfly’s wings and pages that don’t. You will need to decide if your children have a handle on symmetry or will need help with it.
