Exterior Worlds can build your students a butterfly gardens that will make a great outdoor classroom. The garden will give them science lessons in botany, ecology, and the life cycles of insects in a fun and exciting setting.Kids learn how butterflies use different kinds of shelter in different ways. Some trees, bushes, and rocks we place in the butterfly garden are used by the butterflies to hide from birds. Others, however, like large rocks, are used to sun themselves so they can get their body temperature warm enough to fly. Kids can get very close here and observe stationary butterflies fanning their wings in the early morning light.
We also plant vegetation that caterpillars feed on so that kids can observe the entire life cycle of the butterfly in their outdoor classroom. Houston can support many such plants that caterpillars love. Examples include milkweed, sunflowers, oleander, and parsley.
