What educators are saying
We studied the dung beetle and its successful introduction into Australia. We studied its life cycle which either disgusted or highly amused Grade 2 students. The cut and paste life cycle was a very engaging resource! That it folds to become a cow-pat. Genius. Thank you. I loved it.

Description
Explore the life cycles of an earthworm, cicada, dung beetle, and spider with these bugs and insects foldable sequencing activities. Each animal has differentiated templates for students to color, sequence, and fold. They'll love opening their foldout to reveal the life cycle stages inside, then closing it to hide them away again!
These cute bug activities are ideal for interactive science notebooks, lap books, and science centers.
Benefits of these activities:
- Low prep
- Children learn about life cycles in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet.
- Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding.
- Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing.
- Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity.
- Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children.
