The stages of a butterfly!

Lorelai got a butterfly garden for Christmas; she got 4 caterpillars in the mail and got to watch them grow and turn into butterflies! She absolutely loved watching them grow and change and boy to they grow fast!


They were tiny when we first got them; you can see one little one in the picture below.


It only took a few days to like triple in size.

Lorelai was constantly checking on her caterpillars and
wanted to take them everywhere with her!

Hanging from the top of the container getting ready to go into their cocoons.
Here they are all cozy in their cocoons and transported into their new home!
3 out of the 4 turned into butterflies and silly me I forgot to take a picture! We kept them for a few days then set them free, I was worried Lorelai wouldn't want to let them go, but she actually loved watching them fly away! It was really fun to watch them and Lorelai got really into the whole process!
