The activities in this bundle are designed to introduce preschoolers to the life cycle of a bird with vocabulary practice, sequencing activities, and hands-on fun!

What is the Life Cycle of a Bird?

My favorite part of spring is discovering a new bird’s nest in a tree in our yard. In the past few years, we’ve had both robins and doves build nests in nearby trees.

I love watching the adult birds gather materials to build their nests. Finding eggs in the nest is always a great surprise. But, of course, the best part is finding the hatchlings!

You can start teaching the life cycle of a bird with the life cycle diagram included in this pack. It includes images of all four stages of a birds life cycle – from egg to adult.

Birds Life Cycle for Kids

This bundle of activities includes twenty activities designed for kids ages 4-6. You’ll find life cycle worksheets and hands-on activities. This pack is perfect for spring and summer lessons.

After introducing the life cycle diagram, you can reinforce vocabulary with a variety of worksheets.

The life cycle of a bird coloring book includes four pages – one for each stage. Kids can color the picture and trace the word at the bottom of the page. Then, bind the pages together to create a life cycle book.

There are four puzzles designed to help children match the vocabulary word to a picture of each stage of the life cycle.

You can print these on colored paper and laminate for durability. Or, you can have children color the pictures themselves before laminating and cutting apart the puzzles.

Another of the vocabulary worksheets has kids trace the vocabulary words before drawing a line to match the words to the pictures.

There’s a little mini-book kids can create that features the sight words “i”, “see”, and “a”. Then, kids will write the vocabulary words on the line before stapling the pages together to form a small book to read.

The final vocabulary building page has preschoolers cut and paste labels on the correct picture in a life cycle diagram.

Bird Life Cycle Printable

Once your preschoolers are familiar with the vocabulary, you can start working on the sequence of the life cycle of a bird.

Bring back the life cycle diagram. Remind children of the order of the life cycle stages – egg, hatching, chick, and adult.

There are quite a few activities included in this bundle to help solidify the sequence in your child’s mind.

Remember that coloring book I mentioned above, after kids color the pages see if they can put the pages in order before you staple them together.

Have the color the sequencing discs and putting them in order on the bird life cycle sequencing hat. They can then share the sequence with someone else.

In addition to the sequencing hat, this set includes a sequencing necklace. Kids can color the pictures, and then string them together with yarn to wear around their neck.

Kids can cut and paste sequencing pictures to complete each sequencing pattern on the “which is next” worksheets.

There’s another cut and paste page which has children cut out life cycle cards and paste them in order on a numbered life cycle worksheet.

Or, kids can cut out numbers and glue them in the correct box on a mixed-up sequencing page.

This pack also includes a spinner, a slider, a spinning top, and more!
