Life Cycle of a Butterfly

We have been learning all about animals and their life cycles -- today we learned about the life cycle of a butterfly and we did this super cute activity using dry pasta noodles.  Very easy and cheap, the kids loved it!

Here's what you need:
Star Shaped pasta for the Butterfly Eggs
Spiral Pasta for the Larva
Shells for the Chrysalis
and Bowtie Pasta for the Butterfly!

    Such a good idea! I'll be moving down to 2nd grade next year and am excited to use some of the ideas I've been reading on all these blogs! Thanks for sharing.

    :) I did this in lab this year with Kindergarten and second! I used orzo for the egg! If I did this with just one class (instead of 14), I would have dyed the pasta with food coloring and rubbing alcohol :)
