The children determine which motif to use by rolling the dice according to a numbered motif table and color the wings of their butterflies by using these motifs in the repetition, color, and direction they wish.

Souvenirs of the Future

Souvenirs of the Future

You try to remember the future. A bird painted on the ceramic panel in a historical palace has found its place on the wall. The tiles of a church and a mosque have been painted on canvas. The pattern of a centuries-old ceramic plate appears before you on a velvet curtain.
