Ready to teach your little ones all about the life of a butterfly? These life of a butterfly worksheets are printable and easy to use as helpers!
With Spring season upon, once you go outside and spot some butterflies, you can take it even further and learn about the butterfly life cycle and label their body parts as well with these science worksheets. Isn’t Science great?
The caterpillars creep me out but my kids love bugs and it’s a great way for them to explore nature. Besides, I love watching them grow educationally and run around trying to stay with the butterflies as they’re flapping their wings!
Talking points that you can discuss with your kids are where the eggs are laid, and then how they turn into a larva and then a pupa before they become a butterfly. Pictures and videos are a great way to show kids how different the caterpillars and butterflies look. These life cycle of a butterfly worksheets will take you through each stage.
I then created parts of a butterfly worksheet as well to learn about the antennae, thorax, abdomen, legs, forewings, and hindwings.
