Explore the life cycle of a butterfly, a bee, an apple, a bald eagle, a turkey and more! These no-prep, label the picture printables are great for practicing scissor skills or handwriting in labeling centers, writing centers, to complement science units or for ESL students.

Each life cycle comes in two versions for differentiated learning: one version is a cut and paste, the other is a fill-in-the-blank version with a word bank for more advanced students. Cut and paste versions work well for preschool and kindergartners working on scissor skills, while the word bank version gives older kinders, first and second graders practice at writing and identifying the parts of the life cycles. Printables come in both full color and black and white. Use the black and white version to add a coloring component to the lesson!
