About this resource

Show all four stages of the butterfly life cycle on a single paper plate with this hands-on science craft for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, and first grade. Kids divide a plate into four sections and build each stage with pantry pasta: rice eggs on a leaf, a rotini caterpillar, a shell chrysalis, and a bow tie butterfly.

Every step has a real photo, and a supply list with picture cues shows what to gather first. Kids finish by labeling each stage and drawing arrows to show how the cycle repeats.

A natural fit for spring, insect units, and life science lessons.
