Going along with our butterfly watching, we read some books for storytime this week that fit perfectly into our Butterfly theme. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is a classic and always fun to read. Our caterpillars really kept getting fatter every day, just like the one in the book. But ours were on a controlled diet, not like this hungry caterpillar.
Clara Caterpillar by Pamela Duncan Edwards was a fun book to read as this little caterpillar was caring and courageous. She might only be a plain cabbage caterpillar, but her beautiful cream color comes in handy in the end.
For our butterfly craft, we made a few more Tissue Paper Butterflies. This time we were able to catch these butterflies with our nets, knowing they’d be safe in our house to keep.
