Lifecycle Circle Book: Cut & Paste Activity for Young Learners

How to use this worksheet

Help your child cut out each circle page carefully, keeping them in order as they're cut. Look at the animal life stages shown on each circle and talk about what's happening in the picture. Stack and glue or bind the circles together in the center so they form a small flip book, or fan-style book. Once assembled, flip through the finished book together, matching each animal to its life stage and naming what happens at each one.
