Welcome!

Butterfly School is an exciting way to share fifteen minutes of learning & creativity with your favorite children. Mom-made, kid-tested & teacher supported, you can play at your kitchen table or on the go!

This page will give you a quick overview of our team, materials & resources. We designed Butterfly School for our favorite children & this site includes lots of resources so you can enjoy playing Butterfly School with yours. To get started, we encourage you to select any materials from our home page -- they are ready to print & play. Try the sample shown below -- it introduces our lifecycle series, a great place to start. We would always love to hear from you.

Mom-Made & Kid-Tested As a Mom, with two bouncy preschoolers, I make sure that all of our Butterfly School materials, including daily Activity Sheets, are fun for kids and easy for us over-tired & stressed-out caregivers. In fact, they're straight-forward enough that you can start playing any time. Just select any of our posted themes, print the Activity Sheets & enjoy! Check out the coordinated weekly letters for tips, project links & extra resources. Our tutorial will provide you with sample sessions & more.
