Butterfly Learning Plan for 14 Month Old Kiddos
It can be difficult to develop a "lesson plan" for a 14 month old. We wanted to have structured learning time, which is basically fun activities and crafts concentrated around a centralized theme. This month was butterfly month, and by the end of the month the word BUTTERFLY became part of our kiddo's "listening vocabulary". Here are the activities we integrated into our butterfly learning plan...

Interactive Field Trip:
The Butterfly Garden at the Tennessee Aquarium
It was so rewarding to see him begin to recognize butterflies because of our projects! We will be learning APPLE in September, but we will continue to review butterflies.
