Butterflies In May is an enriching and interactive educational experience for children combining science and creativity.  The hands-on activity provides a fantastic opportunity for children to learn about the fascinating life cycle of butterflies. By watching the caterpillars grow, transform, and emerge as butterflies, children can gain a deeper appreciation for nature's wonders and a firsthand understanding of metamorphosis.  Each child will be provided with a caterpillar home to decorate on site, a live caterpillar, and activities to complete at home throughout the transformation process. Each year, this is a very popular event! Spread your wings and fly on over to register... Butterflies In May.
