Mariposa Butterfly Classroom & Children's Education Program
Bring the Magic of Butterflies to Your Classroom!
The Mariposa Butterfly Festival is proud to offer classrooms, home schools, daycare facilities the unique opportunity to raise and release live butterflies! Through our Butterfly Classroom Education Program, teachers can introduce students to the incredible lifecycle of a butterfly while fostering hands-on learning about nature, science, and conservation.
Each participating teacher, leader, or daycare provider will receive:
🦋 A live butterfly habitat with caterpillars for each child
📖 Educational materials on butterfly lifecycles and care
🌱 A chance to release butterflies into the environment
How It Works:
1️⃣
We deliver a live butterfly habitat with caterpillars directly to your classroom or facility in early April with supportive educational materials.
2️⃣ Your students observe the full butterfly lifecycle, from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly & host a release of your own!
💡 Local businesses can also sponsor a butterfly habitat for just $50! Help spread the magic of butterflies by supporting a classroom or hosting a butterfly habitat in your store.
