Description

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly Activity introduces the young Child to the cycle of life and helps them improve their vocabulary.  This unique material takes the Child from the verbal story; developing the sensorial (concrete) understanding of the material with the objects (sold separately); to the abstract, with the incorporation of images and labels.  Colour coding distinguishes the different Montessori Animal Kingdom classes, the colour yellow identifies the class of arthropods, which includes cockroaches, crabs, butterflies, beetles, centipedes, scorpions, shrimp, spiders, lobsters, lice, ticks and termites.
