By far the most well known brand of these common art materials is Crayola. Some colors recommended to have on hand would be white, yellow, or purple. Bright, cheerful colors look best when shading the outline of the insect.

Consider using various pinks, reds and even bright blue when filling in your butterfly coloring pages. Another option is to add some glitter glue or sticky gems on the body of the butterfly when you are finished to give it a sparkly shine. Then you can cut them out along the edges of the paper and hang in a window!

Butterflies usually eat nectar from the flower blossom. They are attracted to brightly colored flowers and land on them. They use their long tongue called a proboscis to drink the nectar from the center of it, like a straw. These wonderful insects spend almost half their time looking for food to eat on a given day. They need lots of energy to fly around! Flying from flower to flower looking for nectar means that butterflies are important pollinators.
