LIVE BUTTERFLY GARDEN

LIVE BUTTERFLY GARDEN

We would like to watch the miracle of metamorphosis in our own classroom and this offers children the invaluable lessons of metamorphosis, science, patterns, patience and life cycle.

Children put five caterpillars to a clean plastic cup together with nutrious food they need.

They placed them to safe but visible place away from direct sunlight.

Later on the caterpillars grow ten times their original size.

After seven o ten days will the caterpillars will hang upside down and harden into chrysalides/pupael.

Then they chrysalides gently moved to the pop-up butterfly habitat. And the butterfly house was for kids especially for the small one like a film in cinema






 They were lovely coloured and there was not the only child that butterflies seen, admired.

We waited together, the whole school, warm day, we could jointly launch butterflies. These common activity attuned to them to other friendly projects.

Younger children were sad that  butterfliers were leaving us.
