Brady's Butterflies

Brady's class has been learning about insects this quarter (hence the spider pinata - see previous post). Today was their 4th quarter event and I was lucky enough to be a parent volunteer! First we constructed butterfly habitats and each child got to paint them. Then the kids came home with a container of caterpillars to watch as they change into butterflies! Once the caterpillars make their chrysalis then we can move them into the habitat Brady made. They will turn into Painted Lady butterflies and then we can set them free! Too much fun!


Here is Brady painting his habitat!


Such a serious artist!


All of the kids did a great job!


Finally, the caterpillars come home! Can't wait to see them hatch!

If the toxic fumes from his painted house don't deform or kill it...
