Princess discovered about 4 or 5 lessons worth of life cycle printables I’d discovered and printed off. Mostly for insects we hadn’t discussed yet, but a few for ones we had discussed.
She was super excited about them and proceeded to cut it out and put the whole thing together with a little help from me. Since it all follows the same life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult), she mostly got them put together on her own, with only a little help.
Now, it’s not cut out quite as prettily as the ones I did by myself, but I’m much prouder of these. Because my THREE YEAR old did it all by herself.
Doesn’t that make your mommy heart sing?
I know it does mine.
For those who are interested, here’s links to where I found these.
General list of insect resources
honeybee
butterfly
dragonfly
firefly
grasshopper
termite (who my boys really liked because the boys actually got to live in the colony)
ladybug (Princess’ favorite one)
Admittedly a lot of those you can find on your own just by following the chain of links once you start on the first one, but it’s handy sometimes to have it all listed together somewhere.
Very handy! Thanks 🙂
I think that she did a fantastic job. You must be so proud.
She did great. I totally agree with you – self directed projects are best. Thanks for all the links!
Thanks for the links! She did a great job!
That's great cutting! Thanks for all the links =)
Princess did a great job!!!!!!!!!!
Nice job Princess did! I love learning about insect lifecycles. Thank you for sharing the links.
She did a great job on cutting.
