I thought it would be really cool to teach Jared some Yoga poses that demonstrate the butterfly’s journey from an egg to an adult butterfly.
I found these poses on the wonderful Kids Yoga Stories blog - there are lots of other animal-related, child friendly yoga poses to try out too!
We did this to wind down before bed time; I have to say it worked!
1. Pretend to be an Egg - Child’s Pose
2. Pretend to be a Caterpillar - Cobra Pose
“Mum, please hurry up and take the photo!” - Jared
3. Pretend to be a Pupa - Hare Pose
4. Pretend to be an Emerging Butterly- Standing Forward Bend
5. Pretend to be an Adult Butterfly - Warrior Pose (Not gonna lie; even mummy found this tricky)
“I turned into a Speckled Wood Butterfly!” - Jared
Check back soon for our Wooly Caterpillar Game & in the meantime have a fabulous Easter - Thanks for visiting!
