Let’s take to the skies with Hoopla Issue 22: Beautiful Butterflies – a joyful, hands-on adventure in the colourful world of butterflies and moths.

In this uplifting issue, children explore nature, creativity and curiosity through fun, screen-free activities. They can head outdoors to spot butterflies and try a simple survey, inspired by the nationwide Big Butterfly Count, helping them connect with the natural world.

Back indoors, there’s plenty to make and create. Children can paint butterfly prints, build a life cycle model and craft decorations for their room. In the kitchen, they can bake delicious butterfly cakes and decorate them with fruity wings.

They’ll also discover fascinating facts about butterflies and moths, while gentle journaling pages encourage reflection and creativity. Packed with puzzles, a story, colouring and hands-on discovery, this issue supports learning through play in a calm, engaging way.

Perfect for children aged 4–9, Hoopla helps families enjoy creative, meaningful moments together — whatever the weather.
