In one of our butterfly lessons, we learned about butterfly gardens. How can you make your own butterfly garden to help the monarch butterflies when they travel here? Could you put one in your backyard? Could you put one at a local park? How could you get the community involved? In your butterfly garden you can include plants like lavender, dahlias, marigolds, zinnias, and daisies!

Help your child practice writing their letters by writing out the words "egg", "caterpillar", "chrysalis", and "butterfly". This can be done with crayons or markers on paper, or even chalk out on the sidewalk! If your child enjoys this activity and is wanting to do more, you can include words like "monarch", "painted lady", and "swallowtail". These are all different kinds of butterflies we talked about at school!
