Let’s Learn About Shapes!

Bilingual Resources for Korean-Learners

Learning about shapes is critical for children and helps them to identify and categorize visual information, adds descriptive words to their vocabulary, and expands to skills in reading, math, and science. Shapes communicate visual messages throughout our real-world environment and serve as important building blocks in our children’s cognitive development.

Butterfly Life Cycle Activities

Something my kids and I enjoy doing every year, is watching caterpillars grow into butterflies. It’s a wonderful activity that lasts for weeks, teaches about the process of metamorphosis, allows close observation of the live insects, presents an opportunity to introduce or review Korean vocabulary, and is absolute fun for everyone!

Every Spring, I order a cup (or two) of caterpillars from InsectLore.com, and each cup comes with five caterpillars. If you have never done this activity before, I recommend getting a starter kit that includes the temporary housing and information booklet. (This is not a paid endorsement – Just sharing where I like to get our caterpillars!) The kit comes with everything you need to know about the process and how to take care of the butterflies before you release them. Usually, you will also receive some fun stickers or other paper toys.

Some of the butterflies like to stick around close by (on little hands or in the garden) before flying away, like this beautiful painted lady who took a moment to appreciate our flowers.

This year, I wanted to add some additional educational material to go along with our annual observation, so I created several worksheets and puzzle activities all centered around caterpillars and butterflies – and in addition to the worksheets, I created flash cards and a mini book that can be printed right from your computer!

Example pages from Butterfly Life Cycle Workbook

The Butterfly Life Cycle Workbook is twenty pages and can be found in the Aerilyn Books online store. The mini book teaches your child about the stages of a butterfly’s life cycle, in both English and Korean, and the key vocabulary can be reinforced with the flash cards. Your child will also get to exercise their creative skills while practicing numbers and colors and drawing the different stages from caterpillar to butterfly. Don’t feel comfortable raising caterpillars? No worries! It isn’t necessary to get the educational benefits of the workbook! So head to the online store to get the Butterfly Life Cycle Workbook and have fun learning about metamorphosis!
