Butterfly Life Cycle Poem

Before making the butterfly, the students learn a poem all about the life cycle. This little jingle (sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”) helps them better remember each stage.

Flutter, flutter, butterfly.
Use your wings and go so high.

Lay your eggs upon a leaf.
Caterpillar, munch and eat.

Spin a silky chrysalis.
Rest and rest, metamorphosis!

You can find this butterfly poem, as well as the daily activities to go with the poem, in my April I Can Read Poetry pack.

For this butterfly life cycle craft, the students will use navy beans and pasta shapes to symbolize each stage.

First, they cut out the butterfly shape. You can find this particular butterfly shape here!
