Preschoolers Are All Smiles Watching Butterflies Be Set Free - Cute Videos

A class of young women in New York City showed nothing but pure joy and excitement at the wonder of nature as they set free butterflies.

Children are precious gifts from the good Lord. Sure, they may be loud, rowdy and get on their mom and dad’s last nerve every now and then. However, children are innocent, trusting and full of optimism and happiness. 

One video posted on Instagram of a class of pre-K girls at Covenant of the Sacred Heart in New York City perfectly displays the wonder and joy present in so many young children. The class of little girls crowd around a short, steel fence as an older gentleman, carrying a net-like container, slightly leans over the railing and releases a butterfly.

Smiles and laughter abound as the girls jump around excitedly while the creatures fly away. They simply cannot contain their joy and excitement. 

Later in the video, someone else steps in, and with the girls crowding around her, releases another butterfly. The girls, once again, are overjoyed. Their reaction is not diminished in the slightest. 

As the caption to the short video explains, the children were “witnessing the beauty of nature’s transformation firsthand.” The video comes after the class of children had been looking after caterpillars, according to Sunny Skyz. 

The video captures the children helping release the caterpillars after they had become butterflies into the school’s garden.

Children, at that age, are not too familiar with the world. They are still exploring and learning and have not seen all the danger and evil that is alive and well in society. Seeing something so simple as butterflies give children such a thrill and so much joy is a reminder of the innocence of young children. 

It’s clear from every child’s reaction in the video that they all had an absolutely fantastic time.

Psalm 16:11 “You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures forever and ever.”
