My Butterfly Garden

Ready, butterflies?

There goes the first one!

There goes the second one!

Make it bake it!

A celebration of the butterfly

A couple of weeks ago, I got a Butterfly Garden as a reward for earning stars on my chore chart.  Every day I checked the mail because Mom said there were going to be caterpillars in there very soon!  And she was right!  The caterpillars came and then they ate and grew.  And grew. And grew.  And then one day something very magical happened.  We watched them spin their cocoons, or as I call them - KAH-koons and then we waited.  Yesterday, all four butterflies finally hatched from the cocoons.  It was amazing!  This morning it was time to let them fly free and to celebrate the butterfly life cycle by making my very first make-it-bake-it.  Fly butterflies fly!
