Butterflies: Butterfly Book for kids – Fun facts about caterpillar to butterfly life cycle, Chrysalis, butterfly pictures and the Monarch butterfly

Butterflies have always fascinated me. I was overjoyed when my kids had a school project that required them watching the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar to butterfly. It gave me an opportunity to go through the metamorphosis of the butterfly with them and an excuse to spend time with the “flying flowers.”

The life cycle of the butterfly begins with the egg, however, our butterfly kit started with the caterpillar. We watched the caterpillar eats its way and molt its skin to grow and eventually become a chrysalis.

We watched the Monarch butterfly eventually emerge and feed on the nectar of the flowers we got fresh from the garden. We learnt about the migration pattern of Monarch butterflies and their journey to the Oyamel forest Mexico from Canada and Northern United states. Monarchs go through several generations during the migration and survive adverse weather conditions.

Butterflies and moths look similar. Can you differentiate one from the other? Did you know that a butterfly can help you predict your future? This butterfly’s picture book will show and teach you amazing things you never knew about these wonderful flying creatures.
