This section contains a wealth of resources for teaching children about plant and animal life cycles. Included are readers, references and activity books, all designed to enhance learning about life cycles.

  Watch it Grow Series
The Watch it Grow book series is specifically designed for young children ages 3-6. These colorful books capitalize on their natural interest in insects and other arthropods that they encounter in the garden or around the schoolgrounds. Clear, easy to read text complements engaging color photographs. This series is ideal for early childhood education including extended care and after school programs, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, preschool and kindergarten teachers, camp leaders, daycare providers and parents.
 
  Bird Life Cycle Series (Ages 5-7)
Young children are naturally curious about birds and their young. Baby Birds explores the robin's life cycle, while the other titles look at the diversity found in bird eggs, nests and rearing methods. Perfect series for young readers ages 5-7.
 
  Starting Life Series (Ages 5-8)
Beautiful photographs complement this fresh approach to teaching young children about animal and plant life cycles. These award-winning, bright, bold picture books take young readers through each stage, from beginning stages to maturity. Creative die-cut pages get longer as the animal (or tree) grows. For children ages 5-8.
 
  Life Cycle Series (Ages 8-10)
Dramatic color photographs and clearly written text document the life history of six common yet fascinating arthropods, from egg to adult. Perfect for teaching children in grades 2-4 about animal life cycles using species that many will be familiar with.
 
  Life Cycle Models
Wide selection of lifecycle replicas plus individual replicas (dragonfly, fire ant, bee, red ladybug and praying mantid). These accurate, durable, hand-painted, models are perfect for classroom learning centers. Replicas comply with EN-71 European toy standards (which are stricter than US standards).
 
  Life Cycle, Moon Phase and Anatomy Learning Pads

These full color pads contain 32 sheets with about half of the space left blank for students to fill in information, identifications, creative writing assignments about the subject matter shown, or creative art projects. Reasonably priced so each student can take home their own copy. Ages 4-9.
