Butterflies!!!



Momstown Oakville, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Guelph got together at the Cambridge Butterly Conservatory, and fun was had by all! The kids started the day colouring their butterfly crowns, and playing interactive games and puzzles - all with a butterly theme! We also learned new rhymes and songs. We then had free time to explore the conservatory, with over 2000 birds and butterflies. Even the babies in carriers were captivated by all the butterlies fluttering around. Next we learned about owls and bugs, and finished the tour off with a story time. My girls loved the butterlies so much, we had to go back into the conservatory for another tour. It really was beautiful. I wasn't too keen to hold any of the bugs, but the "stick bug" was a real favorite amongst the kids. The waterfall, and humid air created a wonderful tropical atmoshphere. The day trip tied in perfectly with the momstown educational curriculum. The theme for the month of May is Bullfrogs and Butterflies. You won't want to miss the fun coming up!
