Use this 48-piece Life Cycles Mini Bulletin Board with Gr. K-2 students to help them:

• Understand common animal and plan life cycles
• Comprehend the stages in the lifecycle of the frog, butterfly, and sunflower
• Identify the correct sequence in the life cycle of the frog, butterfly, and sunflower

Color photographs cover the following topics:

• Lifecycles of frog: tadpole (breathes with gills), growing tadpole (with hind legs), emergent frog (develops front legs and lungs), and adult frog (tail is gone and lives on land and water.
• Lifecycle of butterfly: Eggs (laid on a leaf), larva/caterpillar (eats and grows), pupa/chrysalis (changes into adult), and adult (emerges after two weeks).
• Lifecyle of sunflower: germinating (root begins to grow), sprouting (seed coat falls off), growing (roots, stem, and leaves develop), flowering (bud forms and opens), and seeds develop (petals wither and seeds drop.
