After about 10 days the caterpillar finally turned into a beautiful butterfly.
We were so lucky to watch this happening right in our classroom. Amazing!

As the caterpillars grew, we had to find more and more food for them

The caterpillar grew and grew.

The caterpillar spun itself into a chrysalis

We were lucky enough to have been given some swan plants with tiny baby monarch caterpillars on the leaves. Over the days we watched these tiny caterpillars grow rapidly into big fat caterpillars. Gosh, do they eat heaps!
Two days later and the caterpillar has grown.
The tiny baby caterpillar. So small you can hardly see it.
