Spring and summer flowers plant life cycles cut and paste sequencing activities

Explore the life cycles of spring and summer flowers with these fun, foldable activities. This resource covers 4 life cycles (2 flowers that grow from bulbs and 2 from seeds): a sunflower, tulip, daffodil, and rose plant. For each one, there are multiple differentiated template options that allow your students to sequence the life cycle stages - just choose the ones that are most suitable for your learners.

These cut-and-paste activities are suitable for science centers, interactive science notebooks and lessons about spring or summer life cycles.

Benefits of this activity

• Low prep
• Children learn about life cycles in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet.
• Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding.
• Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing.
• Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity.
• Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children.
• Practice following directions.

Versions with US (letter size) and A4 paper included.

Each life cycle has directions for students and a picture showing where to fold (these can easily be displayed on a screen to save ink).
