Everywhere Butterfly's

Everywhere you look we are seeing butterfly's. Our chrysalis have finally opened and we have beautiful painted lady butterfly's. It was so much fun to see the excitement on the faces of our children this morning as they came in and discovered we now have butterfly's.

The children have watched so closely all day. Coming to the nature shelf in pairs and on their own and having lovely conversations about birth, life and the complete life cycle.



I think we may be releasing our butterfly's tomorrow. I am afraid to keep them to long for fear they will die. I also,
think it will be an incredible experience to open the jars up and let them go. I am hoping to take them to playground and perhaps we can sing a song to send them on their way.

We also, enjoyed the the story, Marigold's Wings and painted our own butterfly and flowers with water colour crayons, brush and water.
