Metamorphosis

I wanted the bulletin board to be fun, bright and really stand out. I drew the caterpillar from "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and used tissue paper to give it a 3-D look. I did the same for the butterfly except I used larger pieces of tissue paper to give it more texture. The chrysalis was made with strips of brown paper. I first formed the caterpillar, made it into a "J" and finished by wrapping wider strips around it until it produced the look I wanted. The students loved displaying their own butterfly art and butterfly life-cycle sequence paper.
