Littles Learning Link Up: Butterfly Metamorphosis/Life Cycle Fun Round Up

Welcome to Littles Learning Link Up. Each month you will find:

• A seasonal round-up (usually toward the beginning of the month)
• Posts where I share what I have been up to with my preschoolers and/or early elementary children (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).

Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme.  Feel free to link up more than one post.

Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up. 

I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child.

It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.

It's time for this month's Round Up

Last month I shared 20 creative ideas for frog metamorphosis. I used several of those ideas with the Pre-K class at our homeschool co-op, along with some original ideas of my own. I will be sharing my Learning About Life Cycles: Tadpole/Frog Lessons post on Friday. We are now moving on to some lessons on another famous creature that goes through metamorphosis: the butterfly. I invite you to continue reading so you can see the neat ideas that were shared with me. I can't wait to use some of these ideas with my Pre-K class.
