Butterfly Life Cycle Coloring Page

One of my favorite things about spring is butterflies. I can’t wait until they’re flitting around the flowerbeds in my yard.

This spring, my grandson will be old enough to explore the butterflies with me. I’m excited to purchase a butterfly habitat and caterpillars so he can watch the transformation himself.

RESOURCES I LOVE
