Today, we are going to embark on an exciting journey into the garden where we will meet some very special friends—the caterpillars! Have you ever wondered how a tiny caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly? 🦋 Let’s find out together!
To kick off our adventure, let’s gather around and listen to the magical story of Cathy the Caterpillar.
Once upon a time, in a sunny garden, there lived a little caterpillar named Cathy. Cathy was not just any caterpillar; she was curious and loved to munch on green leaves all day long! 🍃
One sunny morning, Cathy woke up and decided she wanted to see the world from high up in the sky. But how could she fly, being a caterpillar? 🤔
Cathy’s wise friend, Ollie the Owl, told her about the Magical Life Cycle. “You have to transform into something beautiful, dear Cathy,” he said.
With big dreams in her little heart, Cathy ate lots of leaves and soon felt very sleepy. She found a cozy spot on a branch and wrapped herself up in a lovely shell called a cocoon. 🌙
Days went by, and while she was sleeping, something amazing was happening. Cathy was changing and growing! 🥳
Finally, one bright morning, Cathy woke up and burst out of her cocoon. What did she find? She had turned into a spectacular butterfly with colourful wings! Now, Cathy could fly high above the garden and see everything from the sky.
She was so happy and free, fluttering her wings and showing everyone how wonderful it was to transform! 🦋
Now that we've heard Cathy's story, it's time for you to use your imagination! 🎉 Grab some crayons and paper, and let's draw our very own caterpillar and butterfly! Remember to use lots of colours—just like Cathy!
By engaging the children with a story, questions, and a creative activity, we will ignite their curiosity about the caterpillar life cycle while setting a fun and vibrant tone for the lesson! Happy exploring! 🌼
