Butterfly Feeders

This week in investigations we wanted to learn what butterflies eat and how they can get their food.
We learned that sometimes butterflies need some help to get food. We decided to make some butterfly feeders to hang from the trees.

First we needed to tie the string on to the lids. We then made the strings bright and colourful by threading beads and cut up straws onto them. We know that butterflies like bright colours.

Next week we are going to hang these from the trees in our butterfly garden and put some fruit out for them to eat.

We wonder what fruit they will like?
