Intentional butterfly education is one of the best ways for us to learn about butterflies, their environment and how we impact each other. Wings of Enchantment offers fun, interactive programs to help the New Mexico community learn about butterflies, their habitat, and how to get involved in helping to save butterflies. We also reinforce what is taught by allowing the freedom to interact with live life stages by touch and feel which enhances the learning experience. 

Wings of Enchantment can visit your school, garden club, or organization with a fun educational program to teach a variety of subjects including the life cycle of the butterfly, butterfly gardening and conservation. Take a look below for the programs we have to offer and we hope to visit you soon!

We are an Albuquerque Public Schools and Rio Rancho Public Schools Approved Vendor!

Life Cycle Journey - Kids Program

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Life Cycle Journey offers an opportunity for hands on discovery and exploration of live butterfly life stages through their natural host plants, free flight and feeding.

Tailored to 3 years old through early elementary kids, children are introduced to the butterfly life cycle through an interactive story and videos, given time to ask questions and discuss what they have learned. This is followed by hands on interaction with live examples for each of the butterfly’s life stages; butterflies laying eggs, caterpillars feeding, chrysalis and feeding butterflies. (Program not suitable for children 2 years old or below.)
