⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'This was a great hands-on activity for my 2nd grade life cycle unit! I used this as a hands-on center during my Science block, and the kids loved it so much, I let them rotate all week, doing a different life cycle foldable each day. They had a lot of fun with these! I could see this being easily adaptable for 1st or 3rd grade as well.'
