🦋🌺 Butterfly Garden

Welcome to the Butterfly Garden – a creative animation project in Scratch designed especially for beginners and kids who love nature and animation. This project allows you to create a virtual garden scene where butterflies fly randomly around a colorful and peaceful garden. It’s an easy Scratch project that teaches you how to code random movement, use forever loops, and add visual effects like costume changes and wing flapping. The result is a beautiful, calming animated nature scene that looks almost like a living painting!

Many Scratch users search for projects like “how to make butterflies fly in Scratch,” “random movement in Scratch,” or “create a nature animation in Scratch.” This project covers all of those topics while helping students build a strong foundation in coding logic and creativity.

In this activity, you will:

·       Learn how to make a sprite move in random directions

·       Create natural butterfly flight animations

·       Use costume switching to make the wings flap

·       Add a garden background for a realistic environment

·       Understand forever loops and edge bouncing in Scratch

✅ What Will Happen:

• The stage has a beautiful garden background

• Butterflies fly in different directions using random movement

• It creates a calm and lively animated scene

✅ Step 1. Choose the Background
