For toddlers and preschoolers, "Mariposita" offers significant developmental benefits:
The song follows the simple yet imaginative story of a butterfly——who is in the kitchen preparing chocolate for her godmother ( madrina ). The lyrics are characterized by a playful and surreal series of physical descriptions: Pata de palo (Wooden leg) Ojo de vidrio (Glass eye) Nariz de guacamayo (Macaw nose) For toddlers and preschoolers
