Spring is here and butterflies are flitting and caterpillars can be seen munching on their favorite food plant so it is time for one of the favorite workshop – the Flying Jewels Young Naturalist Butterfly Workshop! This year Leaps & Bounds make it extra special by adding a visit to the spectacular Butterfly Park at Asola Sanctuary.
Flying Jewels: A Young Naturalist Weekend Workshop
Leaps & Bounds weekend session is all about butterflies, their life-cycle, their amazing metamorphosis, their behaviour and anatomy. The children will observe the caterpillars, the moults, the pupa, and learn how to attract, find and rear and release their own butterflies. You will learn fantastic facts about butterflies, see how their anatomy changes, watch videos and presentations, play games, and even observe them with a microscope. You will go a step further, and on Sunday they will visit the beautiful Asola Butterfly Park, created by the Bombay Natural History Society in the Asola Sanctuary. discover special butterfly behaviours, defence mechanisms, how to make mineral licks and encourage puddling, how to make our own butterfly garden with food plants for caterpillars and butterflies and much more.
Leaps & Bounds aim to bring our years of experience of working in this field and share it with the children, enabling them and giving them the tools and knowledge to become Young Naturalists and conduct nature studies and discover things on their own.
Fees: Rs 2500 per child, Rs 500 per parent (for visit)
If you can only join on sunday for the visit, the fees is Rs 1500 per child, Rs 500 per parent.
