From Caterpillars to Butterflies!

This summer we got to witness a caterpillar's metamorphosis to a butterfly. It was so awesome! My mom ordered this kit and it came with a jar of tiny caterpillars, with their food on the bottom of the jar. In about a week they became ten times their size, and then you got to see them make their cocoons.

Trey liked calling them their "cozy cocoons!" The cocoons were attached to the top of the jar lid, and we took the lid off and pinned it to the "treehouse."

Then we got to watch as the butterflies came out!

We released them a few days later and the kids had a blast holding them, and then watching them fly away!

What a fun thing for the kids! They watched the caterpillars so carefully, and were so excited for the next step.
