Butterflies

Hey y'all!

Guess what!!!

We got 11 caterpillars in the mail! How weird but cool is that? I didn't know you could get caterpillars in the mail. So we are learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar.

First here is an egg. Then the egg hatches a caterpillar. After that they eat and eat and eat and then make a cocoon also called a pupa or chrysalis. When they come put they become a beautiful butterfly!!

Here is picture of when we first got them home.


Now here is a picture of then just 5 days later. Wow! They are huge.






Today we did some fun activities that taught us about the life cycle of a butterfly. We all had a lot of fun and learned a lot too.











Our butterfly friends are still caterpillars so check back and I will post again when they make their cocoons. Then after they come out as butterflies I will definitely take pictures to show all of you! I'm so excited I can't wait!







Bye!
