Bread and Butterflies- What a yummy treat!
Check out this great site for photos of Wisconsin butterflies! You can also learn more about each species to figure out what plants to check for eggs, caterpillars, and nectar-drinking adults.
Did you know that butterfly wings are covered with tiny scales that make them look powdery? Our fingers can damage the scales, making the butterflies unable to fly. So as you are on the lookout for butterflies in your neighborhood, please do not touch them! They will say a silent thank you to you as they flutter away.
Would you like to have a caterpillar to go with the butterfly you made? Older wonder bugs will have fun gluing pom-poms to a Popsicle stick or piece of paper. You can add pipe cleaners for the antennae. Or for the youngest wonder bugs, bring out the finger paints and show them how to use their thumb or fingerprints to make a caterpillar. Draw on antennae when they are done.
If you want to prepare for the next Wonder Bugs Session, stay up late and try to catch lightning bugs AKA fireflies!
Flutter-bye for now,
Miss Tara
P.S. All of the summer camp Wonder Bug sessions are full, but there is still plenty of room in our NEW Wonder Bugs Family Days!
