PEACOCKS-animal life cycle

For the changes theme the Peacocks made their own customized butterfly life cycles on paper plates. We read the book “The Hungry Caterpillar” . After that the children were divided into 3 groups and each group made each stage of the butterfly life cycle.

The children made a caterpillar by gluing colored styrofoam to popsicle sticks. They made cocoons by gluing yarn to styrofoam eggs. Finally they made the symmetrical butterflies by pouring drops of paint on one side of the paper and then folding it to reveal beautiful symmetrical patterns. They used the pipe cleaners to make the body for their butterflies.

LPFÖ: Develop their interest and understanding of the different cycles in nature.
