Caterpillars

While we were playing out in the back, one of the children noticed some caterpillars on the tree.  When we looked closer, we realized that they were tiny ones and there were many of them.

That child called over his friends and soon enough everyone wanted to see.  

Of course, then they wanted to hold them.  Most of the children enjoyed having the caterpillars crawl on them.  We also talked about how the caterpillars were crawling to the top of the tree where the leaves were so they could eat them and after they would make themselves a cocoon and turn into a butterfly.
