When the children are finished with their caterpillars wrap it in a cocoon. Then the children put the cocoons on the tree, which is a cut out tree flat against the wall, with a paper clip. The magic was done when the children left. We opened up the cocoons and glued the caterpillar to the center and drew on Butterfly wings. Provide a butterfly pattern.
Children trace , cut out, and put paint drops on one side of the butterfly.
Children will then fold the butterflies in half to make the same design on opposite side of butterfly. Get a box of Duncan Hines sugar cookie mix.
