To solve this problem, we need to make the two butterfly wings look like mirror images of each other. This is called symmetry.
Step 1: Look at the top butterfly.
* The
left wing has three circles on it: one big circle at the bottom, a medium circle in the middle, and a small circle near the top. It also has two small oval shapes near the tip.
* The
right wing is empty. To make it match, you need to draw the exact same shapes on the right side, but flipped over. Imagine folding the paper along the black body line; the drawings should land right on top of each other.
* Draw a
big circle on the bottom right.
* Draw a
medium circle in the middle right.
* Draw a
small circle near the top right.
* Draw the
two small ovals near the tip of the right wing.
Step 2: Look at the bottom butterfly.
* The
left wing has three circles arranged in a vertical line: a medium one at the top, a big one in the middle, and a small one at the bottom.
* The
right wing is empty. You need to copy these shapes to the right side.
* Draw a
medium circle at the top right.
* Draw a
big circle in the middle right.
* Draw a
small circle at the bottom right.
Step 3: Color the butterflies.
* Once you have drawn the missing circles and shapes so that both sides match perfectly, you can color the butterflies any way you like! Just make sure you use the same colors on the left and right wings to keep them symmetrical.
Final Answer:
Draw the matching circles and shapes on the empty right wings so they are mirror images of the left wings, then color the butterflies.
