Caterpillar Adoption and Butterfly Release at Kidspace Children’s Museum

A hands on experience for the kids, the Caterpillar Adoption Program is once again happening at Kidspace Children’s Museum in Pasadena.   Butterfly adoptions begin on March 17, 2010.  For $5 your child can adopt a caterpillar at the Busy Bee Learning Store.  You’ll receive the caterpillar in a container with food and instructions on how to care for it.  In one short month, the caterpillar will turn into a beautiful butterfly and your child can release it into the Kidspace Garden during the Butterfly Release ceremony on April 17.  The day will include performances in the Kidspace amphitheatre and other special programming.
