Join us in the celebration of the Mission Valley YMCA's 30th Healthy Kids Day! Learn about the life stages of the Monarch Butterfly from egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, and finally to the majestic butterfly! Find out why the Narrow-leaf Milkweed plant, which is native to San Diego, is so important to this beautiful butterfly. Start your own butterfly garden with our craft project for kids!
Make and Take Project:
Children will assemble a bio-degradable pot made out of toilet paper rolls! They will plant their own milkweed seeds in their hand-made pots. They then can then create their own Monarch Butterfly pin and attach it to themselves or their milkweed container!
This event is sponsored by the City of San Diego!
