As part of our ‘Minibeast’ topic, children had the opportunity to observe the life cycle of a butterfly. They watched intently as the caterpillars grew each day, finally reaching their full size and forming a chrysalis. Children counted the days and waited patiently as the caterpillars transformed and finally emerged as beautiful butterflies.
We took care of the butterflies feeding them sugar water and fruit before finally releasing them when the weather was warm enough.
