Kids are all a flutter

A BUTTERFLY landing on you is fairly uncommon.
Several butterflies landing on you at the same time is even rarer.
But during the school holidays children were given the chance to experience just that at Cranbourne Homemaker Centres.
The shopping centre kept locals occupied with a butterfly house display where children could feed the insects using special feeding sticks.
The display provided interesting facts as well, including that butterflies hibernate during colder weather.
Face painting was also on offer at what the centre described to be a fun and successful day.
