Gretta's Caterpillar

This is our new pet..."Caterpillar". Gretta isn't very good at giving things names, she usually just calls it what it is. So his name is Caterpiller. We got him at our PCC Parent Ed class for $1.50. He is a very good pet. He can eat, sleep and poop in his container. So he pretty much a very low-maintenance kind of pet. The perfect kind for a 3 year old. Gretta has loved showing everyone her caterpillar and even wanted to take him to preschool. He even got to sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's while we were out of town.

Here he is enjoying his home.

Here is caterpillar in his cocoon.

This is the lovely home Gretta help me make for him to open up into.
It worked great. The only problem is that we forgot to get a picture of the butterfly before it flew away. Oh well, next year.

Miss Henery really did a great job with the kids and teaching them all about what was going to happen. On multipule weeks they did different art projects all related to their caterpillar's.
Here are some of Gretta.

Gretta really enjoyed the whole process.
