BUTTERFLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL

IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO BE A BUTTERFLY

Think about how great it would be to spread our wings and fly high in the sky.

DID YOU KNOW…

That butterflies come from caterpillars and they go through 4 stages in their lives. People go through similar stages.

IN THE EGG STAGE

Caterpillars are hatched from eggs.

Mothers keep their babies safe and warm.

IN THE CATERPILLAR STAGEThe caterpillar starts eating and crawling.

Babies drink milk to help them grow. Then they crawl and walk.

IN THE CHRYSALIS STAGE

The caterpillar struggles to change into a butterfly

As teens, we are also struggling to make changes.

IN THE ADULT STAGE

The caterpillar emerges and spreads its wings.

We become an adult who should feel confident and full of energy.
