The images and arrows are in black and white, which allows kids to color each stage of the cycle on their own. They can choose crayons, markers, or colored pencils to decorate their buttefly.

Make a paper plate butterfly life cycle by taking any paper plate and divide it into 4 parts. (This is a great way to sneak in some math too!) Have children draw a line down the middle of the paper plate from top to bottom with a magic marker. Now draw a line horizontally to driving the plate yet further into quarters. Now cut and paste the 4 parts of a butterfly lifecycle each onto a different quadrant of the plate. TADA!

Another option is to attach each part of the butterfly life cycle to a piece of yarn or string with a piece of tape. Not tape the string to a hanger. How cute is that!
