Egg to Chick, Caterpillar to Butterfly

Put an animal's life in order.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child puts an animal's life in order: egg to chick to hen, and caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 34

Animals change as they grow. A chicken starts as an egg, then a chick, then a hen.
A butterfly starts as a caterpillar. It makes a chrysalis. Then a butterfly comes out!
The order always goes the same way. A hen does not turn back into an egg.
Your turn! What comes after the caterpillar? The chrysalis!
Try it with a grown-up! Look for caterpillars on leaves. If you find one, check back in a few days.
