Caterpillars

Our absolute favorite butterfly activity is watching the life cycle – in REAL LIFE! Each year, we order caterpillars and follow them through their journey. It’s absolutely amazing to watch the cycle from start to finish, and peaks kiddos’ interest in Science with all the excitement!

Butterfly Life Cycle Figures

This year, I caught a great deal on these butterfly life cycle figures! I thought they would be SO fun added to our life cycle unit, and in our Spring sensory bins! It’s so fun to HOLD the life cycle in your hands, and practice ordering the cycle!
