What a wonderful surprise we got today walking into nursery to see our butterflies had emerged \u00a0from their chrysalises.<\/span><\/p>\n

The children were super excited \u201cwe can now feed the butterflies\u201d. We had a discussion about what the butterflies can eat.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to feed the butterflies so they grow.\u201d
\n\u201cThen we can let them out to fly away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe butterflies need sugar water.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u201cCan we give them fruit.\u201d<\/p>\n

We read the guidance instructions and it was suggested that we feed the butterflies slices of citrus fruit and sugar water. So the children cut up pieces of oranges and filled cup lids with sugar water. Next we gently placed the fruit and water into the butterflies net and watched to see what happened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be so careful so we don\u2019t scare them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are going to eat all the oranges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat one is going over to the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

We will continue to look after our butterflies until they are ready to be released into our garden. The children have enjoyed watching every step as they grow. \ud83e\udd8b<\/p>\n
