Interactive School Talks

The Butterfly Musketeers unique experience is tailored to each and every school and age range of your children. We visit schools in the Christchurch during Terms 1 or 4, for 45 – 60 minutes of interaction.  We create a fun learning experience that your children will be talking about for weeks after.

Theres heaps of opportunity for teachers and children to ask questions and for me to give advice and plan butterfly gardens.  Plus take heaps of photos of the children dressed up as monarch butterflies for their learning stories.

The Butterfly Musketeers will bring along our swan plants and answer questions regarding the amazing life cycle of the Monarch butterfly so children can see first hand caterpillars, chrysalises and eggs.

I also bring along fun learning tools, swan plant seedlings, and other fun goodies that I leave as a gift from us to your school, and access to Butterfly Musketeers information and posters that can use later on.  If timing is right we bring in chrysalis and new born Monarchs butterflies.  100% of the time we will bring caterpillars on brand new plants unless I get told you have plenty of caterpillars already.

The Butterfly Musketeers teach the children fun facts and how to attract the Monarchs to their garden at home.

We would love to come and visit your school! Contact me today for availability, or to learn more about our Monarch Butterfly visits.
