The sun came out today, but it was chilly and windy.  Even so, we know that spring is (almost!) here.  So we read a story about some little caterpillars who had some adventures before they turned into butterflies.  We learned the names of several types of caterpillars– some of them sounded pretty funny to us!  We also learned a new word: chrysalis.  Ask your child what that means!

Everyone was amazed by this story, because it’s true!  Elephants in Thailand, India, and other Southeast Asian countries have been taught by artists to paint.  Photographs help to tell the story of this unique art project, and the reasons  behind it.  You can read the story, or go to elephantart.com to learn more.
