Life Cycle of a Butterfly...

This is Solace's last family project of Kindergarten. She had to do a project about either the parts of a plant of the life cycle of a butterfly. This is what she came up with, and we did together as a family. She quite literally drew up the plan for this and told us what she wanted it to look like and say. She was very confident and sure of the project-the big real tree leaf was a design feature that she based the whole project on. Originally it was designed a bit more complex with an actual moving and growing caterpillar/butterfly, coming out of the egg using simple machines such as pulleys. When she came up with this idea, Wes was all for it and excited to do all that. Sadly, he was on a bad work week, and was not home for the actual execution, so mom (me) streamlined the whole thing and the motion/machines part was booted. Even without that, Solace's teacher was really impressed and it was the most creative, and best project in the class...Here is the final project.
