A Tale of Metamorphosis
Butterfly Wonder
Meet Inchy the caterpillar, who has just
popped out of his egg! He meets new friends,
hides from the bird, and eats many leaves
before spinning his cocoon and emerging as a
beautiful butterfly. Many songs and short
dialogues introduce the flowers, animals (a
hungry caterpillar in three sizes, a mouse,
robin, a bee and of course the butterfly), and
the change from daytime to the moon and
stars of night. The treatment of
metamorphosis of a little caterpillar into a
butterfly is great material for early grades in
natural science!

is meant for classroom or living room

stage and puppets.

workshop, 1 hour.

butterfly, bees, spring, music, visual arts.
