After much anticipation, our caterpillars arrived today. We have one of my friend's; Melissa, to thank for the idea and the provision of these tiny creatures.
We have seven small caterpillars of the painted Lady butterfly, living in a jar in our kitchen now for the next few weeks!
Henry saw a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis when we were in New Zealand, and ever since he has been intrigued by caterpillars and the process by which they become butterflies. Hopefully we will have some success with these creepy crawlies and he will experience first hand, how caterpillars transform themselves.
We are going to create a caterpillar calendar, by which to keep an eye on these small black lines (which are about 2cm long today), to ensure we check regularly their progress.
I'll update the blogs as changes occur.
Today, Henry created his first journal page - drawing and describing the caterpillars.
