This complete solution allows you to teach life cycles in an entirely new way. Stop teaching them in isolation. Students are introduced to 6 different life cycles as they are encountered in their own backyard. To further enhance their learning experience students, explore the interconnectedness between each of the species.

Everything you will need is included. Life cycle figures are detailed and accurate, sorting cards, nomenclature, rebus books, and a beautiful and highly detailed mat that measures 36" x 36" that is constructed from durable vinyl and doesn't require lamination. Each element on the mat has been carefully constructed, designed, and then pictured making you think you are looking at real water, grass and trees.

Each life cycle will unfold right before your children's eyes, as the students read the included rebus books that allow them to act out the story using the models, furthering their understanding of Montessori's concept of the cosmic plan.
