Color choices
Butterfly wings can begin with orange and yellow sections beside dark contrasting borders. Color the caterpillar with green bands, then use softer green shades for the leaves and stem. Try pink, purple, or blue flower petals with golden centers. Finish the chrysalis in pale green or brown, and give the eggs a light cream or yellow shade.
Life Cycle Story
Tell the sequence from eggs on the leaf to caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly, using each stage as a scene in the story.
