Look! Up in the sky!
What do you call a group of butterflies? A “kaleidoscope”! Spend a some time with one of our most beautiful pollinators, the monarch. Butterfly Kaleidoscope was created by artist Christopher Lutter and his studio, Big Animal Productions, with the help of Kidspace volunteers. Crafted entirely of upcycled materials, over 200 butterflies flutter above the floor, and kids can control their flight. But be gentle, monarchs are precious and need our care to thrive.
