Butterfly

Butterflies have been an interest of Joshua's for a while. We had a caterpillars in a couple of classrooms at school. He was excited to check on the caterpillars' progress as they transformed into butterflies.

Recently I purchased The Very Hunfry Caterpillar. We have read it many many times already. (and purchased the puzzles)

One of Joshua's "big brother gifts" was a bug catcher with a butterfly net. We have gone out to catch the butterflies, but it's a small net and he's two and a half. We haven't caught any butterflies.

Today on our walk however I spotted a dead butterfly and Joshua was thrilled! He didn't want to keep it. He just wanted to make sure I put it in the grass so that no one would step on it.
