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!
Looking forward to the woolly caterpillar game too .
Well done Jared you will have to teach granny some yoga you do it so well and it is really good for you,both you and Levi looked so interested in the hungry caterpillar book I am looking forward to your next post with mummy helping you to learn all about the butterflies keep it up boys
Very good Jared, I am not sure I could do those poses.
Keep up the good work.
