We revisited butterflies for Science at homeschool...
This time around we reviewed their life cycle and metamorphosis,
but we also learned about their self defense mechanisms.
Since the new information was slightly over their heads,
I really wanted to make something fun that Caleb and Ashlynn could have
to remember how caterpillars turn into butterflies.
And I found a great FREE tutorial online, and I had to share!
Mine are not nearly as cute as they could have been,
but I threw all 3 together in one evening
using scrap fabric from my Mom's basement - just sayin'
They actually close up really well on the bottom,
but I wanted to show how the butterfly part
tucked up into the caterpillar body.
just a quick flip, and it's a butterfly!
Ashlynn can't do it on her own, but Caleb and Marigold
don't seem to have much trouble with them.
They like them, especially Ashlynn during sacrament meeting at church.
Let me know if you try this out!
I'd love to see pics!
