Chicken Lifecycle Cut and Paste Worksheet for Preschoolers

How to use this worksheet

Help your child cut out each circular picture, taking care to follow the curved edge rather than cutting straight across. Lay the circles out and talk about which stage comes first, the egg, and which comes last, the full-grown chicken. Have your child glue the circles in order onto the main worksheet, from egg to chick to adult. Once dry, review the finished sequence together, naming each stage as you point to it.
