Life Cycle Animal Kit - 12-Piece Montessori Science Toy with Frog, Ladybug & Butterfly Figures. Matching Game & Educational Gift for Kids Ages 3 4 5 6 7 8

Instructional and fun. A good way to visualize and learn about the life cycle of many different species. The identification cards make it easy to match the different life cycles. I thought it would be used more as a game, but the kids really use it more "scientifically". The bucket is good quality and important to keep all the items together. The individual species have a small plastic bags which also helps with organization.

My boys absolutely love this kit! Perfect for free play, imagination, and nature science unit. Pieces aren't too small and good quality. Worth the money.

Educational and fun! This Montessori life cycle set is perfect for curious kids. The figures are detailed and durable, and it’s a great hands-on way to learn about nature. My child loved matching each stage!

Bought this for my kids and it’s so cute! The critters are great quality and the cards that come with are informative. I recommend if your kid is interested in life cycles. Also, they are really good size to play with too.

My students absolutely loved this! Great quality and for for the students to work with and have hands-on experiences with what they are learning. I appreciated the different life cycles being represented of different species. Great for small group work and projects! I highly recommend for the classroom!

My children enjoyed looking at the lifelike forms of the animals included. I would’ve loved this set if behind the cards there were facts of each stage but we turned it into a research opportunity. We ask questions (i.e how many eggs are laid? How long until they hatch?), make a hypothesis and look it up. It’s really a great set. Hoping there’s another box with different animals/plants.

Great quality. Bought this when my son was 2 and we play it nearly everyday since then. He's now 3. Sometimes my son will take the critters and put them on their sides to pretend they are sleeping. Not only is this a learning toy but it also helps your kiddos with their imaginations and pretend play. I've seen kits similar to this one out at local stores but the quality of this one on Amazon surpasses the others.

I bought these for my life cycle unit! I love the variety of animals as we will go over most of these. I liked the added bonus of the storage case and the lifecycle cards for ordering that come with it. The colors are nice, they feel durable, and it’s good value for the cost.I like the added function that students can match the figures to the cards and recreate the lifecycle on their own.
