Marshmallow Monsters



Butterfly Party

Our Very Hungry Caterpillar theme wrapped up this afternoon with our Butterfly Party. Thanks to all Dorothy's great butterfly ideas, we had a great time acting out the life cycle of the butterfly.



We started out as caterpillars that just hatched out of eggs. We crawled around pretending to eat leaves.


After we ate enough, we laid down on the floor and got wrapped up in our chrysallis.





After we rested in our chrysallis, we were transformed into beautiful butterflies (thanks to some tissue paper and pipe cleaners).





We sipped our nectar during snack time.

The Wheels on the Bus

The three year old class enjoyed helping me read the book, The Wheels on the Bus. After we read the story, we painted school busses with yellow paint and added children riding. There was also some pretend play in the dramatic play center that came from the story as children acted out the roles of bus driver and riders.
