Life Cycles - Butterfly, Frog & Hen - 12 Pieces

This engaging life cycles set is a hands-on educational resource designed to help young children understand the stages of animal development. Featuring 12 wooden pieces representing the key life stages of a butterfly, frog, and hen, this set supports early science learning through visual storytelling and tactile exploration. Each piece is crafted from durable wood and designed for small hands, making it ideal for use in early years classrooms or nature-themed learning corners.

The set comes in a soft cloth storage bag, which not only makes clean-up simple but also introduces children to responsibility and resource care. By sequencing the pieces, students develop an understanding of biological growth, patterns, and change over time.
