Boxcar Children and Butterfly Art!

Our Butterfly Lesson is tying in nicely with the Boxcar Children Book #2 Lesson. In the story the children are collecting items for their museum. One of their items is a butterfly. We also decided to do the Food Pyramid because of the variety food the children are eating in book. We will also keep a log of the fruits and vegetables that Ryan eats this week. Instead of a Pyramid I had Ryan separate the foods into the groups. This is also one of the items in the Tiger Cub Scout book so we have an added bonus of completing that requirement for Scouts!

Today we decided to do an art project that we saw on Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. Ryan had loads of fun making the butterflies. We only stopped because we ran out of thick art paper.

After all of that hard work we needed a snack!
