Free Bee & Butterfly Life Cycle Printables & Puzzles

This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.

After sharing with you guys about my new edible tea garden that doubles as a pollinator garden, I wanted to create some free bee and butterfly life cycle printables and puzzles for you to use with your kids and classrooms!

Below I’ve separated out individual files with photos so you can quickly scan through and see which printables you want! PLUS there’s info below about how to do your part in conservation and help track your butterfly habitat and other pollinator friendly resources!

pollinator bee garden sign

I’m so excited about this fun garden sign I made! It looks awesome in my tea garden along with the diy mushroom garden decor I made a few weeks ago!

When you print the sign out I highly recommend coloring it as desired and then laminating it if you’re going to put it outside! Otherwise the weather will ruin it! Learn more about healthy bee populations and fun facts about bees here!

These fun puzzles, a flower and a bee, come in black and white so that you can print them out and color them! As with our other puzzles, I recommend glueing it onto card stock and then cutting them out in order to make them sturdier!
