One of the most fascinating unit studies you can do with your kids is to learn about the butterfly life cycle. When my oldest was in kindergarten, we used our butterfly kit to grow our own butterflies. It was so amazing. This would also make a fun preschool theme. He got to see a butterfly hatch out of its chrysalis. I have gathered some butterfly life cycle learning activities here if you’re interested in teaching your kids about this amazing process!
