Butterflies and a Freebie
Share this:
We have had so much fun with our butterflies, especially since we found them in our garden…for FREE! There was a bit of a scare there since I thought that they might be gypsy moths, which destroy your garden! However, I am happy to say that we have 5 BEAUTIFUL Morning Cloak butterflies!
It is always such a magical experience to see them change from caterpillars to butterflies! There is always so much talk going on in our home about the process of becoming a butterfly and it never seems to get old.
We released 2 of our butterflies today and it was amazing!
Audrey was so careful to be gentle with the butterfly as she removed it from the net…

Love the photos Annie! My kids have used that kit for years 🙂 Hey, I was thinking about you this morning because our ladybugs came that I ordered after reading your ladybug post. We will be having fun today with them. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing this lovely butterfly printable. We raised caterpillars/butterflies last summer with the kids and they truly enjoyed it.
Thanks for the FREEBIE! Paige will love it! As always, your girls are soooo adorable! Hope all is going well!

I just loved this post, Annie! I have been a bit hesitant to even think about doing such a unit as I don't cope well with anything creepy, crawly, or even butterfly-like :S But the way your pics have captured such amazing moments may have just changed my mind! If I get to stay with my class next term, I think I might be brave enough to give it a go! Thank you so much for sharing:) Hope you are having a wonderful week so far ~ xx
