Teaching tips:
Use this activity to support learning about the life of a butterfly. Ask children to identify what is shown in each image and discuss the changes between each stage. Progress to Life of a butterfly to practise word reading by matching the pictures with their labels.
Also, see Butterfly life cycle - simple to challenge children to create their own images and/or captions.
