On the 21st September, the Butterfly Lodge welcomed a group of high-spirited parents and their young children from the Eton House.

The tour was conducted by Mr Jeremy
Choo, our intern from
Temasek Polytechnic. The audience was listening
engrossly to the life cycle of a butterfly.

Up close with the caterpillars. Indeed this activity has brought the relationship between father and daughter, mother and son ,,, closer.

"Let me take a nice photo of you...."

" Hi caterpillar, meet the handsome in zebra disguised...."

The ultimate interactions ..... the young were busy with caterpillars and their parents were busy with the cameras....

"Pass me the caterpillar..."

"Butterfly on my Belly..."

"Wow, I could make this butterfly rest on my index finger .."

"This one was on my middle finger..."

"Butterfly on my uh... It sure knows where to land..."

"Butterfly on my hip...Watch where you touch, kids..."

Butterfly on my hat... what a feeling!

The photographer was being photographed with a butterfly perching on his hat.

Father and daughter sharing a private moment....

"Quick! Take a photo of me and the butterfly..."

"Found the caterpillars, boys and girls..."

"Son, look at the proboscis of the butterfly..."

Prized find of the day...

"Follow me.... lets chase after that butterfly..."

Mother and son.... capturing the right moment...

Young children express their emotions and intimacy with parents very
spontaneously and naturally. The visit provided both parents and children a golden opportunity for the appreciation and learning of butterflies, photographing and handling of insects together which would enhance the bonding between the parents and the children - important for the growth and upbringing of a child.
