Caterpillar to Butterfly

The kids and I decided we wanted to know more about BUGS this week.  We went to the library and selected some books.  After we read a few of our books and talked about different bugs we all seemed excited about the life cycle of a butterfly which led to a pinterest search for fun projects. We had a lot of options and decided Caterpillars, Chrysalis, and Butterflies - Oh, My! seemed to fit our interests and needs the most (this week).

First, we got inspiration from The Very Hungry Caterpillar for painting our own caterpillars

Then we made our wings

 We put our caterpillars in their chrysalis...

 ...and hung them on a tree

 A few days later...
