Butterfly Tot School

Love Bug is currently 38.5 months old

This week we learned about butterflies. It was suppose to be bugs also...but we got really focused on butterflies, and that was plenty.

We are super excited because we are raising butterflies!!

We ordered a kit from Insect Lore

and also ordered the classroom refill kits from their website directly. We divided up the caterpillars between all of our tot school friends.

Love Bug and her siblings are raising 15 caterpillars!

TOTS TOGETHER!

This week we worked on our fine motor skills with our Scatterpillar game

Made AB patterns with some bug erasers (Love Bug is getting really good at AB and we've started adding ABB and AAB)

Learned how butterflies grow

Watched a Youtube video of butterflies growing

Had a butterfly snack (thank you pinterst)

Made cute butterfly glass hangings with clear contact paper and paper (thanks CH)

Love Bug's finished piece

Read the very hungry caterpillar

and then practice our fine motor again by stringing all the foods he ate

and learned how to take care of our caterpillars and help them grow into butterflies

We can't wait to see our butterflies, but we have several weeks still!!

We also took a field trip to a local Butterfly conservatory

So much butterfly fun!!

Pond Tot School

Love Bug is currently 38 months old

This week we worked on a wonderful Pond Unit from Home School Creations

Love Bug loves frogs, and that's what she was the most interested in. We catch frogs (toads) in our yard. I keep trying to convince her that they are toads, but she's got her mind made up.

Down the street from us is a pond that we like to check for tadpoles. Love Bug is afraid of the geese at the pond, and she wasn't too keen on the idea this time around. We never made it down to the water. I don't blame her, they have eggs somewhere nearby and were not very happy that we were trespassing in their home. :)

TOTS TOGETHER

We dotted frogs
