Event Details
Butterfly Heroes takes a look at interesting features of local butterflies, and how to bring them into our back yards. Children learn how to maintain butterfly habitat, including growing butterfly gardens. They will learn about wing symmetry, defense mechanisms, and interesting butterfly behavior. Participants will take a look at the amazing Monarch migration to Mexico, with photos of Monarch butterflies clustering by the thousands in Oyamel Fir trees in the mountains of Michoacan. The program concludes with a wonderful butterfly tee shirt craft. Please bring a t shirt craft using a combination of Rit fabric dye sprays, plants, and butterfly cut-outs. Please bring your own t shirt to paint.
