| Music & Movement: Once I was a caterpillar crawling on the ground. Then I spun a chrysalis, and wrapped it all around. Then one day the sun shone, and warmed me all inside, Slowly slowly I emerged, I could no longer hide. I soaked in the sunshine for a long long while, Then I tried my brand new wings, And it made me smile! Now I'm a little butterfly, colorful and bright, You might see me if you look outside when it's light. |

Morning Circle Time
Show the letter "U" to the children. Say the "U" sounds together. Repeat with the
children the following "U" words: umbrella, underwear, uncle, unicycle, and uniform.
Provide a picture and explain those words which are unfamiliar. Explain that there are
some "U" words that describe where an object is. Say the word "under." Ask the
children if they have ever looked under a rock and found bugs. Say the word "up." Ask
them if they've ever looked up into the sky and seen dragonflies buzzing or butterflies
fluttering. Take a moment to talk with the children about their favorite bugs. Show the
children a photo of the Ulysses Blue butterfly (native to Australia.) Explain that this
beautiful creature begins with the letter "U."

| Caterpillar Lapbook For extra learning oppurtunities, check out this Hungry Caterpillar Lapbook created by Lilliput Station. This is a picture of the one we put together last year. Lapbooking is a great way to reinforce key concepts with a fun book at the end of the lesson. Additionally you can create on to display as a center activity. |
| Snack: Pretzel Butterflies. You'll need small traditional pretzels, large marshmallows or gum drops, and licorice strings. To make this fun snack, take a large gum drop or marshmallow and cut a small slit in the right and left sides (two slits.) Poke two holes in the top of the candy or marshmallow. Now take two pretzels and insert one into the left of the "body" and the other into the right. Use two small portions of stringy licorice and insert them into the "head." What a beautiful edible butterfly! |
Butterfly Life Cycle Cards
This is a set of Butterfly Life Cycle Cards. Use these for
sequencing activities and let children place in order, or

chrysalis, then make butterflies
with cookie-cutter shapes.

Nature Table
If you're able to find one, bring in a twig with an attached
chrysalis to give the children an up-close look at this stage
of butterfly development. If you cannot find an actual
chrysalis, bring in lots of glossy books on the subject and
set up a diorama of the development of a butterfly.

Butterfly Counting
Use butterfly counters, butterfly-shaped buttons, butterfly
stamps, butterfly beads, and anything else you have with a
butterfly pattern for counting and sorting. (Or if you really
want to have fun, and if it's butterfly season, go outside and
count REAL butterflies!)

Live Butterfly Garden
We've used these butterfly gardens for a few years now, raising our own
butterflies each spring. Our children love them, and we'd highly recommend
getting a kit! Order early because you have to wait for your caterpillars to be
shipped.

| Bible Verse Bracelets: Psalm 150:6 "Let everything that breathes praise the Lord." Explain that everything in creation was made to tell how soft feel of a cat's fur, and the colors of a butterfly all bring praise to God. All of His creation tells of God's glory! |
| Bible Song "Let Everything that Has Breath Praise the Lord." Click Here to listen to a sample of the song. |
| Make beautiful butterflies with coffee-filters! (Note: This can be done with the cone-type filters if you do not have access to the round white type (as in Australia.) However, it takes a little imagination!) Give each child a coffee filter and an old-fashioned wooden laundry peg. Show the children how to scrunch up the center of the filter and clip the peg down the middle to form a body and two wings. Assist them if necessary. Provide droppers. (The food coloring can be diluted a little if you like.) Help each child make random drops of color on the butterfly wings, and watch as the colors bleed together. When the butterfly wings are finished, fasten a pipe cleaner onto the "head" for antennae and draw or glue on eyes. Lovely! (Beware...this activity will stain fingers and clothing!) |
| U is for Unselfish This is a Bible Coloring Page of the little boy who was unselfish and shared his meal with many. |
Take the children to a butterfly garden or butterfly
exhibit. If you do not have access to either of these where
you live, help the children plant butterfly-attracting flowers
and create their own butterfly garden.

Additional Bible Lessons: If you rather, you might
choose to take the wonderful example of a caterpillar
becoming a butterfly to demonstrate how Jesus' death
and resurrection enable us to become transformed.
There are many wonderful change from a sinful nature
to sanctification in Christ.
Additionally, the analogy of the caterpillar "dying"
inside the chrysalis and being "resurrected" as a
glorious new creature can help children understand
Christ's triumph on the cross. There are many angles
you can use with this theme. Tailor them to suit your
current topic or time of year.

"Butterfly Butterfly" by Petr Horacek
Lucy sees a beautiful butterfly in the garden, along
with a bright green beetle, a brilliant blue dragonfly,
some red ladybugs, and many more flying and
crawling things. But when will the radiant butterfly
appear again? Petr Horácek uses his trademark
saturated hues and simple shapes to create an
enticing view of the world of colors — and a
peekaboo look at the slow-paced life abuzz in the
backyard garden.

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is the perfect new
platform for the classic caterpillar, who literally pops
off the pages of the book—crawling along branches,
munching through food, and in one of the most
memorable climaxes ever, emerging vibrantly as a
three-dimensional beautiful butterfly.

Explain that God made everything in our universe.
Ask the children whether they think God likes
beautiful things. Tell the children that God even
made some of the most colorful creatures in the
deepest part of the ocean, where few people ever even
get to see them. Ask them why they think that God
would do that. Because He simply enjoys lovely
things. I think God is quite an artist!
