Butterfly Night Instructions
DINNER & DESSERT
Slice pepper to look like a flower. Fill with veggie of choice. Cook crescent rolls according to package. Use toothpicks to stick grapes
together in the shape of a caterpillar. Snip butterfly pork chop in the center of each side to make a top wing and a bottom wing. Snip the middle up a little
on the bottom and then snip the top to separate the meat into the antennae sections. You should be able to see where there are 2 distinct meat sections at
the top. Cook however you like. I pan fry with just a bit of salt & pepper seasoning in about 1 Tablespoon oil. Cook each side about 5 minutes.
Make sure meat is done all the way through. Arrange on plate in order of metamorphosis of a butterfly. Pepper flower, then the grape caterpillar, then the crescent roll cocoon then the butterfly.

CRAFT: Butterfly Hands
Use colored paper and trace the outline of each hand onto the paper. Fingers spread for the top wings, fingers together for the bottom wings.
Cut out wings, color and then glue onto a clothes pin. Twist a length of pipe cleaner for the antennae and click into the clothes pin.

ACTIVITY: Butterfly Games
Use a butterfly net and head outside to catch a butterfly…or any other bugs. If no butterflies can be found, play inside with the nets.
Pieces of tissue paper can be blown with a fan as the kids try to catch them in the net. If you have the elephant game that blows the
butterflies out of the nose, then play that game.
