Caterpillar to Butterfly - creepy crawlies part 2

 Our little entomologists continued on their creepy crawly inquiry, but shifted to learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly. 
A main story focus was reading...

 These little people were spot-on with their story predictions. 

It is a great story for retelling and practicing sequencing skills.

We had so much fun doing caterpillar math;

making patterns and using patterns to create addition equations,

and counting caterpillar body parts to match the numbers.

Creative caterpillars.

or are they magna-pillars?!?

 Balloon stamping caterpillar.

Name caterpillars.

Beautiful butterfly art creations.

Here's a way to color the wings and practice 

reading color words and sorting:)

Creative edible caterpillars and butterfly 

snacks were invented and eaten:)

 Even siblings got in on this action:)

Lovely lifecycle posters.

Beautiful stories were written too!

One of our little friends even hatched some real caterpillars and was able to release TEN butterflies at the park.

Stay-tuned for our next theme.

It's a WiLd one!!
