While we went on a walk, we found 10 caterpillars!!! We kept them on top of the stroller for lack of a place to put them. So as we strolled home, we subtracted numbers as caterpillars disappeared. 9 caterpillars....8 caterpillars.....7 caterpillars. Finally, we arrived home and counted 5 caterpillars. We made them a habitat so we could study them as they transform.
Now we are counting numbers as they disappear. 5-2= 3 fuzzy caterpillars left. 2 little cocoons.
They are fuzzy black and orange caterpillars. All dressed up for Halloween!
Memphis, my brave boy! He was the only kid willing to hold the caterpillars! This is not surprising, from the time he was a baby he loved all creatures and never shows any fear for them.
We have fun being spontaneous; seeing the science and math and learning in the world around us!
