Monarch Life Cycle Stamps

[Mona Miller]

My daughter sent me a set of neat butterfly stamps. If you google,
"Butterfly Life Cycle Stamps", you can find these at several different
stores.

Hi Mona - I had difficulty accessing this website. Last April, I presented the life cycle of the monarch and the black swallowtail butterflies to my grand-daughter's kindergarten class. Since photography is a hobby of mine and goes hand in hand with butterfly gardening, I made a poster board of the complete life cycles of the 2 butterflies. The little ones loved it! I also read a book to them entitled "I Wish I were a Butterfly" and made printouts of a monarch for the children to color...........This is the first time I had ever done something like this, yet I had such delight with the knowledge of these little 5 year olds............It is never too early to start teaching children about the wonders of nature!
My grand-daughter (now 6) helps me in my gardens during the season & helped me tag the monarchs - she loves the monarchs as much as I do............

This is another company which sales the same stamps.

I help my headstart teacher friend by providing caterpillars each year. The kids love the butterflies. 'Cap-t-killers' I heard one say just the other day. They are 3 and 4 year olds. They are so cute.
