Learn lots about the Beautiful Butterflies at Stratford Butterfly Farm

Even though Stratford Butterfly Farm is temporarily closed it can still offer excellent opportunities for children of all ages and abilities to learn about tropical rainforest environments, the plants and animals that live within these habitats, the life-cycle of a butterfly and the Maya, an ancient rainforest civilisation!

Stratford Butterfly Farm understands how challenging it must be for parents, teachers and children to maintain learning in these difficult times.

Find below downloadable resources to help support learning from home on the topics of:

Lifecycle of a Butterfly, to include anatomy, habitats and minibeasts.

Here are some extra ideas of how you can enjoy spending time at home with your family and learning in a more relaxed and informal style.

Recent studies have shown that being close to nature and spending time outdoors has long term benefits on the mental and physical wellbeing in both children and adults.

Use your daily walk to connect with nature by looking for caterpillars and butterflies and at the same time help Butterfly Conservation monitor butterfly numbers by recording your sightings.

Butterfly Conservation have developed a fantastic free app called iRecord Butterflies that guides you through the identification of any butterfly that you see in the UK and allows you to add your sighting to Butterfly Conservation’s national recording scheme. For more information and how to download the app follow the link below:
