TP Cocoons

I found these little caterpillars back in September in the dollar bin at Target and they were on clearance (score!) so I got them for thirty cents a piece!  Wahoo!

We decided our caterpillars needed to create cocoons so they could be butterflies.  So we pulled out TP tubes and a roll of first aid gauze and set to work.

As one of my fours was wrapping her cocoon she told me, "My caterpillar is already turning into a butterfly!"  Yep!

Now, I may get crafty and fashion some wings for these little guys using felt and velcro.  That would be a nice surprise for my kiddos!  I'll let you know...
