Butterfly Puzzle
The wonderful thing about butterflies is that they come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors, allowing children to use their imagination and creativity.
Collect as many colorful leaves as possible. The more unique the colors, the better. Butterfly wings can be paired with leaves of different colors and patterns.
Prepare materials: scissors, hole punch, handmade white glue, hard cardboard or gouache paper
The first step is to trim the leaves. Some leaves themselves are like butterfly wings, so you can use them directly, or you can cut them into any desired shape.
In the second step, place the trimmed wings on the cardboard and find other things to make the body, head and antennae of the butterfly, such as branches, berries, pine cones, and florets. Use them as you like. .
In the third step, after determining the butterfly shape, you can use white glue to paste each part onto the cardboard.
It is recommended to use handmade white glue, which is more environmentally friendly and safe and suitable for children. And it won't dry immediately after application, so you can adjust the position slightly if necessary.
A beautiful butterfly is ready!
Leaves of different colors and shapes will create completely different butterfly shapes, so use your imagination as much as possible!
A small branch and two leaves are used to create a dragonfly. It is very simple to make and looks very realistic!
Going into nature and getting close to nature is not just about talking about it, but about actually practicing it and enjoying this parent-child time with your children!

Teaching reflection
This activity can achieve the goal requirements very well. First of all, I designed the content of this activity to be very fresh and attractive for middle class children. Therefore, the children were highly interested in the entire activity and always maintained a strong state of inquiry, forming an active classroom atmosphere. Secondly, the activities are linked around the theme, forming a good interactive situation between teachers and children. Thirdly, this activity is carried out collectively with 10 children as a group, so that every child can integrate well into it and improve the ability of unity and cooperation. , enhance children's collective sense of honor, and the work is very effective. Disadvantages: 1. It is the first time for children to try leaf painting activities. The workmanship is rough and not detailed enough. 2. Hands-on production takes a long time. In response to these shortcomings, teachers should carry out more activities in this area. As the saying goes: "Practice makes perfect".
Little Encyclopedia: Leaves are the part of the tree where photosynthesis takes place. Leaves can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures.
