Welcome to our Butterfly week! We started off with a fun butterfly sensory bin:
I used dyed butterfly pasta as my filler (for instructions on how to dye the pasta, go here):
And then filled the bin with some pom-pom caterpillars, some butterfly erasers, and some decorative flowers and butterflies from The Dollar Tree. I wrapped one caterpillar in some toilet paper for his chrysalis and used white pom poms as eggs on the flowers.
Monkey J loved it!
He loved the butterfly pasta the best as he arranged them by color and made patterns with them:
We then talked about the butterfly life cycle, starting with egg:
Moving on to the caterpillar, who goes searching for food:
Followed by the caterpillar in his chrysalis, who emerges as a butterfly:
The two monkeys enjoyed exploring the bin together:
Looks like we will have a great butterfly week!
