Learn how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. This installment of our Life Cycle Series of felt board sets shows a pictorial display of a butterfly's life. With 6 stages and detailed felt pictures this set works well within a lesson on caterpillars, cocoons, butterflies, insects, how insects help our lives, life cycles or gardening.

It is simple enough for preschoolers and detailed enough for use within home school or early elementary classrooms. The laminated labels can be used alone or with the felt set to determine the order of growth and double as sight words as well.


Included:

1 felt black circle 11.5" wide
6 felt stages of the life cycle
-egg
-small caterpillar
-hungry caterpillar
-big caterpillar
-chrysalis (cocoon)
-butterfly
6 red felt arrows
7 laminated labels

Play ideas:

Add books on life cycles, gardening, biology, butterflies, the changes they go from caterpillar to butterfly or cocoon using insects in general.
Discuss the difference between different types of butterflies
Play a matching game by flipping over the labels and pieces and trying to match each pair
Race to see who can assemble the life cycle first
Use with the rest of our life cycle series as part of a preschool, early elementary or home school curriculum

Twig and Daisy felt board sets do not have adhesive or hook and loop tape on the back of the pieces. I only use soft felt and it happens to contain a little bit of magic. Felt sticks to felt even on a vertical surface which is really cool! Adding hook and loop tape will actually ruin your felt board adding picks and making it look worn well before it's time.
