I used a paper slicer to to cut the strips.  I purchased mine at Michael's craft store but they can be purchased online as well. I made the patterns in both black and white and color so you would have a choice of what to print.

In this activity children use a hole punch to punch the dots on under the letters on each strip that match the letter on the butterflies. You can also use mini or regular clothespins as well as large plastic paper clips.

I made both uppercase and lowercase letter mats along with letter cards.  In this activity the children pick a letter card and then cover up the same letter on the butterfly mat. Play continues until all letter have been covered.  You can use glass beads ... playdough ... pom poms ... buttons for the cover-ups.

Ten frames are great f​or math and number recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

Children pick a card and put the correct number of counters on the frames.  You can choose to set all of the numbers out or just a few. For younger children I recommend starting with numbers 1-5 or 1-10.  The set comes with numbers 1-20. Click the link below to download.

I set the butterfly cards out along with some clothespins.  There are twelve color cards so you want to make sure you have at least twelve clothespins for the children to use.

Butterfly Color Match

Butterfly Color Match Toddler and Preschool Activity
I have quite a few students that are struggling with colors so I made a butterfly matching activity that works on color recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the butterflies on cardstock paper and laminated them along with the matching color circles.
Butterfly Color Match Toddler and Preschool Activity
After I cut them out I put magnets on the back of each of the color circles.  I always use magnets regardless of weather we are working on a magnetic board or not because it adds extra weight to the pieces and also lifts them up so they are easier for the children to grasp.
Butterfly Color Match Toddler and Preschool Activity
I set the butterflies and matching color circles out in a basket and the children do this activity on the floor or table. They start by choosing a butterfly and then finding the matching color circle and place it on the blank circle on the butterfly.  Play continues until all butterflies have been matched up.
