Life Cycles

Ava's grandma was so sweet to purchase the Safariology life cycle kits from Ava's Amazon wish list. She was eager to get started with them so I let her choose 2 sets to start with. She chose the frog and chicken life cycles. There are plenty of sites you can purchase the matching picture cards but I chose to find a few free links. (chicken and frog) They are not identical to the figurines but look close enough.

If you have the time and want to make some of your own here is an idea: For my classroom I used to find a blanket or some kind of neutral material for a back drop and take pictures of figurines. I would get the pictures printed out and then paste them on card stock. Also, you can make your own fact cards by listing the information that comes on the back of the figurine packaging.

The fact cards

Lucy wanted to try out the chicken life cycle. 

I read the fact cards and Ava found the coordinating figurine.

I liked that this set of fact cards had numerals 1-5 to help with the order.

These cards came with the print out. They are just the picture with the correct title for each figurine. Ava liked that they were round.
