Let’s learn about butterflies!
Our special event this month will be focused on learning about butterflies! Crystal Murphy will engage with your child with fun facts about butterflies, butterfly migration, and songs about butterflies. (Make your own butterfly wings - Crafting with Cassidy)
Milkweed is the only plant on which monarch butterflies will lay their eggs, and it is the primary food source for monarch caterpillars. Despite its necessity to the species, the plant decreased 21 percent in the United States between 1995 and 2013. Scientists, conservationists, and butterfly enthusiasts are encouraging people to grow the plant in their own yards and gardens.
