Butterflies

We've really been enjoying watching the butterflies this week! We've had 3 butterflies emerge from their chrysalises.

 The afternoon class was curious as to how the butterflies eat. We've been putting cut oranges in the butterfly enclosure for them to eat. I explained that butterflies had a straw-like thing that they use to suck the juice out of the oranges. I cut straws for them and they practiced drinking "like a butterfly."
