              Butterfly Bulletin Board Ideas   
      Oh My! Look Who Can Tie! 
      This cute caterpillar bulletin 
      board encourages your children to learnhow to tie their own shoes.  
      Make a large caterpillar's head
 (using a paper plate to trace the circle 
      shape).  Attach the
 caterpillars head to a bulletin board; then add a 
      class supply
 of paper circles, each labeled with a child's name, for the 
      body.
 Also cut out a class supply of tiny shoes.  As each child 
      learns to tie,
 have him/her choose a pair of shoes to add to his/her 
      caterpillar section.
 
        
      Monarch Metamorphosis 
      Make this mystery display to 
      introduce the concept of metamorphosis.Divide a bulletin board with 
      the title "Monarch Metamorphosis" into four sections.
 Then mount a 
      question mark cutout in each space.  Bring in caterpillars for
 the 
      children to observe; then every few days replace a question mark
 with one 
      of the labeled stages of metamorphosis as directed below:
 
 Box 1: Display a paper leaf and half of a Styrofoam egg shape.
 Box 2:  Display a paper leaf and half of a painted cardboard 
      egg carton.
 Box 3:  Display a paper leaf and a chrysalis cut from paper.
 Box 4:  Have children decorate butterfly cutouts to place in 
      the last box.
