Butterfly Life Cycle

Hayden and JD are in Cloverbuds for 4-H. Some weeks they get to visit 4-H project groups to see which ones they might want to try when they "graduate". Some weeks they just get together and do a learning project.

This week they learned about the life cycle of a butterfly. They read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and watched a short video about monarch butterflies. When the group leader asked why the caterpillar was so hungry when he came out of the egg JD answered: "Because he's in a book called The Very Hungry Caterpillar!" He is so funny!

They also had a coloring page contest (JD won a prize for that!) and a fun activity where they wrapped a partner into a toilet paper chrysalis (JD's team won a prize for this too!).

After finishing the other fun activities, they made these cool projects to help them remember the butterfly's life cycle:
