Butterflies
We ordered 5 caterpillars and a butterfly home. It was so much fun watching them in each new stage. It was especially fun to watch them the second that they came out of their chrysalis. They all came out on Mothers Day! After letting their wings dry for a few days, we took them to the botanical garden by our house and set them free. 4 of them survived. One of the butterflies was deformed inside the chrysalis and couldnt get out. Grandpa was able to be here for this and we all had a lot of fun!

Where did you order the butterfly house and caterpillars? I would LOVE to do this with M. He just learned all about butterflies in preschool and we recently went to a butterfly exhibit at the Phoenix Botanical Garden. It was awesome! Did all your kids enjoy the process?
