Butterflies are such delicate and beautiful creatures just like our children! Its fun to introduce the life cycle of a butterfly to kids and watch their eyes light up when they acknowledge the brilliancy of life. If you’re lucky you can grow and hatch your own butterflies in the classroom or home by buying butterfly hatching kits in your local nursery! I like the natural nature approach when it comes to hatching and birthing of butterflies so I usually take my class on walks or tours. Below is a colorable diagram with the life cycles of the butterfly from The Butterfly Site.com. This will be great to print off as a resource to use in the classroom and help the children visualize the different cycles of caterpillar to butterfly.
