When our youngest was in Pre-K they raised butterflies with his amazing teacher. Whether you are observing butterflies in your classroom or at home in your yard, it is fun to document the changes (life cycle) of the butterfly from an egg, caterpillar/larva, pupa/chrysalis to a beautiful butterfly! This printable booklet allows you to write about the life cycle or to make a narrative about a butterfly! You can then make the butterfly craft puppets to retell the process with a bit of drama!
