Fluttering Through the Summer with Butterflies

Sun, July 19, 2026

Butterflies are beautiful creatures. When you see them, you immediately think of summer. That’s why we’re kicking off the summer with an activity all about butterflies: “Fluttering Through the Summer with Butterflies.”

Through various activities, you’ll learn which butterflies you might encounter in Dordrecht—and how the magical metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly takes place. We’ll also show you how to help the butterflies in your garden or on your balcony.

Some of the activities:

Slurp! How does a butterfly taste?

Taste the flavors that butterflies love. And make your own summer drink! What do you think? Do butterflies and people like the same flavors?
