Butterfly projects
By Sarah S.

Clip to ScrapBook   
I just finished my unit on butterflies and caterpillars. I used this project as a hands on way to get the idea across...

I put out rice, shell, spiral, and bowtie noodles. I instruct the kids to create a picture for me
that shows how the butterfly comes to be a butterfly, they use the rice to make an egg on a leaf (I put out green and brown paper). Then they put the spiral in some green paper cut to look like grass, then the shell on a tree limb for the cocoon, and last a bowtie for the butterfly. These came out very cute.
We also made little books about the life cycle of a butterfly, they dictated
what they wanted each page to say and I wrote it on each page.
There are printables on various websites although I cannot recall the particular one I used, if you "keyword" butterflies, you should find what you're looking for! Good luck!!
