Butterfly Life Cycle Flashcard for Preschoolers

Four stages, one animal: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly. The caterpillar melts down inside the chrysalis and rebuilds as a winged adult.

A science flashcard: a child watching a caterpillar, a chrysalis and a butterfly on a leaf, with the fact that a caterpillar changes into a butterfly.
