Butterflies and Caterpillars

The theme for this week is butterflies and caterpillars. I tried doing a craft for this storytime. It turned out to be more work than I expected since I had more kids than usual. We made handprint butterflies. I think I am going to try doing crafts on Mondays during the summer months.
