Autumn Life Cycle Studies

How exciting it is to welcome a new season!  As we bid goodbye to summer and celebrate the arrival of the colorful season, what have you been preparing in your school and home school so far?  Around this time of the year, I love preparing activities of life cycles of autumn animals and seasonal plants.  It's my way of integrating science into the season and, at the same time be aware of the cycles of life that begin in autumn.

Here are some of the materials we have and use at home. Come take a look at these materials in action!

Winter Animal Life Cycle Studies

Happy Winter Solstice!! What have you been doing so far in celebrating the arrival of winter?  In our home, I read books about the shortest day of the year to the kids and how other places in the world welcome this new season.  You can check our winter books collection here to see what we have been reading so far.

Spring Animal Life Cycles

I am so excited to introduce these new sets of life cycle materials to you!  These sets got even BIGGER (with more printables)! But no worries to those who have purchased previously, older sets will be updated soon at no extra cost.

In this post, I am going to feature the life cycle of a (mallard) duck as we are already using it at home. I'm also listing down other spring animal (animals born in spring) life cycle sets that are also available in the shop.

Life Cycle of a Frog Learning Activities

Nothing beats hands-on learning, but because we have no access to tadpoles and frogs, we just rely on books, educational toys and create meaningful materials to achieve the "hands-on experience".  With the success of our Water Cycle activities, I made a similar learning pack for our frog life cycle.  The learning pack is perfect for kids ages 4 to 7 years old, something that will grow with your child through the years.  It contains different activities for different stages of learning for the child. All you needed to do is print the one that suits your needs.

FREE Life Cycle Matching Cards

I have a bunch of life cycle figures which my Aunt brought from the US a few months ago.  I did not really intend to introduce them yet to Vito as he is too young.  But I observed that he’s into matching activities these days, so I managed to create matching cards for all of my life cycles. Wow, he definitely surprised me! He worked on all of these in one day and always picked these for his activity everyday!

FREE Animal Life Cycles Learning Material

At last! I was able to update my Animal Life Cycles file and I added life cycles of insects!  Yes, so many have emailed me asking about it. So sorry, I did not include it in the first edition because we were not studying it yet.
