STEAM at the Library: Life Cycle of Butterflies

at Olney Library

Learn about the life cycle of a butterfly!

Join us at the Olney Library to learn about the life cycle of beautiful butterflies like our Mari Mariposa! We will use our crafting skills to illustrate their life cycle.

This hands-on program will not only stimulate your child's creativity and imagination while helping them to develop critical fine motor skills, they will also have the opportunity to use their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to achieve a result!

This program is designed for children six years old and up. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.

All materials provided. Generously funded by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
