Our butterfly hatching kit arrived today. Tomorrow the boys and I (with Dad's help hopefully) will start a butterfly garden in the backyard. First we have to get rid of thick grass. I'm planning to use the cut and cover technique. I just don't want to dig it all out and the boys aren't old enough yet. I found good sites for plants for this area and I have a few yard ornaments and a piece of iron fence we can use to decorate.One resource I read said to leave some natural area nearby. No problem - rope it off and stop mowing!
On Enchanted Learning I found a butterfly calendar. We're each coloring one and then will give them to the grands.
Pictures to follow as we progress.
