How can I teach my kids about life cycles in super simple terms?

A life cycle is a series of stages a living thing goes through during its life. All plants and animals go through life cycles!

This is a fun concept to learn during the Spring because Spring is when a lot of new life cycles begin with baby animals being born.

When we talk about life cycles, you will learn new names for the animals in each stage. Just like humans grow from: babies —> toddlers —> children —> teenagers and finally adults…

Animals also have specific names and growth evolution for each stage of life too.

Here are some of our family’s favorite books and learning tools that incorporate the concept of life cycles:

This puzzle also incorporates some animal life cycle 3-part sequencing puzzles! I snagged this from a thrift store and was excited to see animal life cycles incorporated.
