I finally picked one up on my way inside and put it on the table (on a plate!) with a magnifying glass for Reese to check out if he wanted to.
It didn't take long, though, for Daddy to show Reese the magic that the sun & a magnifying glass can do...
The butterfly's wings lit almost instantly...just like tissue paper to a flame...
I made Reese promise me he would only do this magic when Mommy or Daddy were around :)

What an awesome experiement!!
Great experiment and beautiful pics. Thanks for submitting to the Carnival of Homeschooling!
Stopping by from the Carnival of Homeschooling. What a great experiment. I don't know if I could show that to my kids yet. They are 6.
Aren't dads great?! I've enjoyed reading your blog. I tried showing that trick to the kids but for some reason it didn't work. Maybe we're too far from the sun up here in MN! :)
