Butterfly pollination activity

Show kids how important bees are with this hands-on pollination experiment.

Celebrate National Pollinator Month with some all-natural and sustainable crafts, designed specifically for native pollinators! Included are some ideas that can support butterfly populations, protect declining bee populations, and increase the amount of pollinator-friendly native plants found in your community. Great for kids or adults!

Butterflies are one of our favorite pollinators! We've discussed in other activities how other animals help to get plants the pollen they need to make seeds, but in this post, we're taking a closer look at the butterfly proboscis (AKA, a long, strawlike tongue that coils and uncoils) and how a butterfly spreads pollen when it drinks a flower's nectar.

Hands-on pollination science experiment during our butterfly life cycle unit to find out how butterflies help plant grow. See how we used mac and cheese powder and juice boxes for our pollination simulation with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students.

Let your preschoolers explore the world of pollination with these five simple activities! With engaging and creative activities, your preschoolers will learn about pollination, along with the important roles of bees and butterflies. They'll have a blast as they learn more about nature and the natural world while they discover these creatures and the vital role they play.

A hands-on science activity that really digs into pollination for children.

I love integrating STEM challenges into science units! This pollinator STEM challenge is a great way to integrate STEM with ecosystems in second grade!
