Introduction to BUTTERFLIES, BEES, AND HUMMINGBIRDS
The object of Butterflies, Bees, and Hummingbirds is
to fly a butterfly, bee, or hummingbird to the correctly
numbered flower. Children fly the butterfly, bee, or
hummingbird by using the cursor arrow keys, the mouse, or
for the first two levels by pressing the number keys on the
keyboard. Young children will find using the cursor arrow
keys easier than the mouse at first. If using a mouse, the
child must press a mouse button to select a flower.
Success routines are different for the butterfly, bee, and
hummingbird. After successfully flying to all the numbered
flowers, the butterfly flies to a leaf and lays eggs. A
caterpillar then emerges, climbs a tree, and spins a cocoon.
The success routine for the bee is flying back to its hive.
The hummingbird flies back to its nest. Parents can
readily customize the program to the ten different levels
of learning. Below is a list of skills that Butterflies,
Bees, and Hummingbirds helps your child master.
