For her 5th birthday Irina chose to get a Butterfly Garden.
Since I Knew that when the kit from Amazon arrived we would have to send in for the caterpillars from Insect Lore, I decided to also get the book The Life Cycles of Butterflies. Link to Authors Website here
I am really glad I got this book which is a field guide written with kids in mind.
As I read the book to Irina we are learning a lot about where butterflies lay their eggs, what they do to protect themselves and what different types of butterflies we will be able to find in our area.
Irina has been pouring over the book taking it to bed with her and she has even been carefully saying the names of the butterflies as she learns about them.
Of course what is a girl not to love with butterfly names like Painted Lady, Tiger Swallowtail and so many others.
Needless to say we can't wait for the caterpillars to arrive...
