Family Learning | Salt and watercolour butterflies, moths and caterpillars

Delve into the world of our our summer family exhibition, Growing Curiosities. Create beautiful butterflies, moths and caterpillars using a salt and water colour painting technique. 

Inspired by Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton book LOTS we will be looking at diversity, how some things look the same but are different, or are different but look the same.  Have you ever noticed how the Viceroy butterfly and the Monarch butterfly look the same but are actually very different?

We will be creating beautiful butterflies, moths and caterpillars using a salt and water colour painting technique.  Using the same outline, how different or similar will your creatures look?
