Welcome to "Everything Butterfly!" If you missed the introduction click
HERE! Today's "Everything Butterfly" post shares two simple hands-on activities that teach the butterfly life-cycle. The first activity uses play dough!
Print off a simple life cycle worksheet and place it inside a plastic page protector. The plastic page protector will act as a play dough mat which will prevent the play dough from sticking to it! Using play dough have your child form each stage, discuss the stage as they create it. I also supplied a butterfly cookie cutter for additional play and fun!
The next activity uses a popcorn seed and uncooked noodles to form the life-cycle on a stick!
- The Popcorn Seed = Egg
- The Rotini Noodle = Caterpillar
- The Shell Noodle = Chrysalis
- The Farfalle Noodle = Butterfly
I attached each piece with a hot glue for extra security!
I love teaching through great books! Check out these titles below through my affiliate links! Happy butterfly learning!
