Observe Animal Life Cycles

Purchase a Butterfly Kit and have children observe the Butterfly Life Cycle. Directions are included in the kit. Have children keep a daily log (written or pictures).

 Insect Lore Live Butterfly Garden

Other animal kits available for purchase are tadpole and frog kits.
A good source is Carolina Biological Supply Company (http://www.Carolina.com).

Children can color, sketch, label, list and/or describe the major changes that characterize the life cycle of the butterfly and frog as they go through metamorphosis.
