After our Circle Time we had Show and Tell. There were some boots, blankets, and bugs. 
Then we read a book called The Crunchy Munchy Caterpillar, and made our own caterpillars and put them in their chrysalises, paper bags, to see if they would turn into butterflies! (They were purposely glued to clothes pins so previously made wings could be attached.) 
After caterpillars came bumble bees. We read The Greedy Bee and talked a bit about how bees dance to communicate, and then we did The Bumble Bee Boogie!!! We played some music (the Hokey Pokey) and danced until Miss Cindy stopped the music and then they had to stand on a pad that was green, a square, etc. But they had to share the pads and they couldn't be Greedy Bees. 
Once we were done boogieing we had our snack. We drank some "nectar," smoothies, out of our flower cups using a proboscis, a butterfly or bee's tongue that is similar to a straw. We ate "Butter"-fly toast. We toasted some bread and cut it to look like a butterfly, then used an edible paint made out of milk to paint our butterflies. Then we spread butter on them so they were officially butterflies. One of my favorite comments from the students was "My mom never let's me paint my toast at home." 
Next we made finger print ants. We talked about how bugs have a head, thorax, and abdomen, and then we dipped our fingers in the paint and gave the ants three body parts. Then we gave them 6 legs, some eyes, and 2 antenna. 
Last of all, we played mosquito tag. The children all had a sheet of stickers, and they would run around and stick them on each other, giving them a "mosquito bite."
