Butterfly Life Cycle Craft- SIMPLE
This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.
My son, who is 4 years old did everything all by himself! This is a VERY simple Butterfly Life Cycle Craft that a child of any age can participate in. All you’ll need is some sort of poster board (or as you can see we just used one side of a cardboard box), coloring sheets for each of the butterfly life cycle (egg, caterpillar, pupa, butterfly), colors, and glue!
I just googled “Butterfly Life Cycle Coloring Pages” and found these to print out. After teaching my son about the 4 different stages in the butterfly’s life cycle, he colored all of the stages. Then I let him cut around each picture, and glue them on to the cardboard/poster board himself. He was so proud of this project since he did everything himself! (which is a lot for him since he hates coloring and has a hard time using scissors!)
You can really revamp this project to meet the needs of your child on their age level. Get creative- add real leaves, glitter, or anything else fun your child might enjoy!
Great job, young man! My grandson doesn't really like to color either (I'm sad to say). My granddaughter does enough coloring and drawing for all of us though:)
