Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Partes De La Mariposa, the parts of a butterfly in Spanish. The three body parts of an insect are the same in any language and the words for them are not, which is the whole reason a Spanish edition exists: a room where the naming happens in Spanish needs the labels in Spanish or the control chart stops controlling anything. Real photograph, control chart and labels. The cards are in Spanish. Card stock, full colour.
“Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.”
The Partes De La Mariposa cards fulfill the child's natural fascination with living creatures while introducing scientific classification through concrete visual matching.
- Master Spanish vocabulary for butterfly anatomy including antenas, tórax, abdomen, and alas
- Develop visual discrimination through matching colored images to grayscale counterparts
- Build scientific classification skills by identifying distinct lepidopteran body parts
- Strengthen fine motor control through precise card manipulation and arrangement

These laminated cardstock materials present butterfly anatomy in both colored and grayscale formats, allowing children to isolate each body part through careful observation. The Spanish nomenclature on each card connects language acquisition with zoological study, addressing the child's sensitive period for both vocabulary expansion and order. By matching the grayscale images to their colored counterparts, children develop visual discrimination while internalizing the precise Spanish terms for antenna, thorax, and wing segments. The dual-format presentation of lepidopteran anatomy enables self-correction as children verify their matches against the control cards. This systematic approach to butterfly parts satisfies the child's need for exactness while building foundational knowledge for later biological classification work.
How to present it
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Place the colored control cards in a row across the work mat. Stack the matching grayscale cards and labels separately in small baskets.
- 1
Introduce each colored butterfly part card, pronouncing the Spanish name clearly: 'antenas', 'cabeza', 'tórax'
Use a three-period lesson format for new vocabulary - 2
Invite the child to match each grayscale image to its colored counterpart
Allow self-discovery rather than correcting immediately - 3
Once images are matched, introduce the Spanish label cards for reading children
Non-readers can match labels by visual comparison to control cards - 4
Child places each label below its corresponding image pair
Keep completed matches visible as reference for remaining cards
