Print, color, and build a 3D model of the butterfly life cycle — a hands-on craft that brings science to life!

Students can assemble all four stages in one sitting, or work through each stage one at a time, pairing the craft with learning about that part of the cycle.
This craft comes in two versions: a black and white template for kids to color themselves, or a pre-colored template that’s ready to print and assemble straight away. We recommend printing on cardstock or heavier paper for the best results.
Age suggestion: 7+, though younger children may need some adult help with assembly.
This digital download includes:
- 3D craft templates for all four life cycle stages — egg, caterpillar (larva), chrysalis (pupa), and butterfly
- Pre-colored and black & white versions of each template
- Label cards for each stage of the life cycle
- Assembly instructions
