At one center the children completed the first few pages in the Butterfly Life Cycle book that we are making. On the first page they glued a leaf and drew an egg on it. The second page had the following sentence on it: When the caterpillar hatches, he eats and eats and eats. For this page the children used a hole punch to punch holes in the leaf to make it look like it was eaten. They then used circle stickers to pattern a caterpillar on the leaf.
At another of our centers today the children made a caterpillar. They used a clothespin and pom poms to make it. When it was finished they placed it in a brown lunch bag(the chrysalis). We then hung the chrysalises from the hooks in our ceiling. The caterpillars will now rest as they go through metamorphosis.
