Preview The Workshop

Crazy Caterpillars is a great session to do as you start talking about minibeasts, life cycles and new life in spring time. You can link in with the Hungry Caterpillar story and some outdoor nature hunts as the weather improves. You might even get some caterpillars to keep in your setting and release as butterflies!

We'll be exploring the life cycle of caterpillars as we build and count caterpillar stacks, observe a science experiment to talk about reactions and make symmetrical fluttering butterflies. 

"This workshop went so well with our life cycles topic and we all loved having a choice of different activities to try out. The children talked about it for days!"
