They took their models and passed them around to get a hands on look while listening to the story. They also setup the habitat and watched each butterfly go from a caterpillar to a crystallite then a butterfly. Each child was anxious to see how each one would look once they came out. I used this as a way to show each child that being different is beautiful. That there is always time to take a nap and wake up ready to have a bright new day! It was a truly eye opening project that they each loved!
