Snack: Butterfly Snack Bags

Butterfly Snack Bags are almost as pretty as butterflies themselves!

This easy butterfly snack is a fun way to explore the art and science of a delicate yet determined creature! You and your child can investigate butterfly parts, stages of growth, and the wonder of migrating insects while decorating the body and creating a nutritious snack. Then take off on an outside adventure to find butterfly eggs, caterpillars, and adult butterflies hiding among the leaves and flowers. 

Literacy Connection: Teach your child that he or she has the power to protect one of the most beautiful natural treasures of North America by reading One Million Monarchs by Dawn Leon. This heartwarming depiction of the Monarchs’ epic journey out of Mexico will inspire you to create a garden with a purpose.
