This week we were busy learning about butterflies and their life cycles. We learned about symmetry and enjoyed exploring this concept using paints and our butterfly paper templates. We folded over our butterflies and only painted one side.

.

The kids loved when we had to bring the painted side and non painted side together to be rubbed. There was excitement to see what colors blended and how both sides were now symmetric. Since exploring colors was so much fun, we got creative with coffee filters. What I found commical was that the children had no idea what a coffee filter was. I guess everyone has a Keurig these days. We used our washable markers to color them in and enjoyed watching the colors blend when wet. We even got creative when recreating the butterfly lifecycle using pasta and paper! Overall, it's been a week of fun and exploration. I hope that everyone enjoys their weekend and that all of us Mommy's get some extra time to sleep!!!!
