Children ages 3–9 learn ant metamorphosis with this 4-stage life cycle set, a printable PDF featuring beautiful illustrations and nomenclature cards showing egg, larva, pupa, and adult ant for hands-on science exploration and sequencing practice.

📦 What's Included

  • 4 life cycle stages: Egg, larva, pupa, adult ant
  • 4 nomenclature card sets: Picture card, control card, and label card for each stage
  • Life cycle poster: Visual reference showing complete metamorphosis sequence
  • 4 pages: Ready to print on cardstock

💡 Learning Benefits

  • Understanding of insect metamorphosis and life cycles
  • Sequencing skills through stage ordering
  • Science vocabulary for entomology concepts
  • Visual recognition of developmental stages
  • Foundation for biology and natural science studies

🎯 How to Use

  • Present the life cycle poster first to show the complete sequence
  • Introduce stages in order: egg, larva, pupa, adult
  • Use nomenclature cards for three-period lessons on each stage
  • Practice sequencing by mixing cards and asking children to order them
  • Pair with real ant observation if possible (ant farm or outdoor exploration)
  • Store cards in order on a science shelf

🐜 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

If you have access to an ant farm or can observe ants outdoors, use this material alongside real-world observation. Children connect vocabulary much more strongly when they can watch the actual process happening in front of them.
