CATERPILLAR CONDos

Gift the magic of metamorphosis and nurture the love of nature

Caterpillar Condos
For KIDs

In this month-long experience, children develop a special connection to nature as they observe the metamorphosis of a live Monarch Butterfly.

This experience, led by Birdie, takes children ages 4-11 through 4 videos: What is a Monarch Butterfly? What is Metamorphosis? What is the Monarch Migration? and What is Citizen Science?

Videos are supported by a digital Monarch Journal with real-world applications, including a citizen science project where children tag and release their monarch.
