For Christmas this year, our aunties Tiffany and Megan, gave the kids a butterfly and ladybug garden. We waited until spring to order the larvae which were delivered by mail. Over the next few weeks, we were able to watch ladybugs grow and caterpillars change into butterflies.
The kids loved this process and were excited to come home from school every day to see the next phase of their butterflies.
On the first warm day of summer, we let our ladybugs and butterflies go. The kids were able to hold them on their hands for a little while before they finally got the gumsion to fly away.
