~*~Butterfly Resources~*~
We are right in the middle of our butterfly kit!! Our caterpillars JUST forms their chrysalides this weekend! YAY!!!
This is what our caterpillars looked like when we got them in the mail on February 28th.
This is what they looked like just a day or 2 before they started making their chrysalides.
Here are the chrysalides that were made over the weekend!
I worried that I jumped the gun on ordering the caterpillars but the kit says as long as it is above 55 degrees when you release them then they will be OK. SHEW!!!
We should have painted lady butterflies in 7 - 10 days!! YAY!!!
I purchased our kit at Toys R Us but you can get the same kit on Amazon. WOW! I should have waited and bought mine there! LOL It's on sale right now!!!
As always, I try to include resources for a variety of ages.
All printable resources are free unless marked with $$$$.
There are TONS of butterfly books out there. These are just a few.
