We have done the life cycle of a butterfly using pasta noodles and black-eyed peas (for egg). We used rotini (twists) for the larva, shells for the chrysalis, and butterfly pasta for the butterflies.Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919642573672908922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-20326080322066793922011-04-25T13:16:45.789-07:002011-04-25T13:16:45.789-07:00I’ve thought about getting the class set, but it w...I’ve thought about getting the class set, but it would be a lot more money. Our PTO covers it, too, but for all of first grade to get 5 caterpillars, it costs $95. The one thing I don’t like about it is that we have to do rush shipping; otherwise they grow too much and kind of defeats the purpose. If we all got the pavilion it would be about $250. Maybe next year, when our PTO has more money we’ll have to try it. I think it would be neat for them to each have their own caterpillar. :)Janaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305627663628368734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309912989038119423.post-61153823326137144902011-04-25T13:06:04.068-07:002011-04-25T13:06:04.068-07:00I love doing the butterfly life cycle, and love al...I love doing the butterfly life cycle, and love all the products from Insect Lore as well! Did you only do 5, though? We always buy a class set so that each child has a caterpillar to observe. It's pretty inexpensive, though I can;t tell you how much, since we order as a grade-level and our PTA covers the cost.<br /><br />TOTALLY doing the life cycle mural like yours next year - love it!!!Mamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617155888103574865noreply@blogger.com
