I introduced the lesson by talking about caterpillars and how they turn into butterflies. I showed them the photos of the chrysalises on our playground. I covered myself with a blanket and broke free as a butterfly, and each student wanted to practice becoming a butterfly. I gave the preschool artists a butterfly template with empty raindrop spaces and raindrop base shapes. They colored the raindrop base shapes with markers creating patterns and then cut them out and glued them in the appropriate spaces on the butterflies. For example: the left and right bottom wings have two raindrop spaces that need the corresponding raindrop shapes.
