Learning Resources Butterfly Life Cycle Magnetic Educational Set, 9 magnets, 5-9 years

The Learning Resources butterfly life cycle magnetic set brings a visual and interactive way to teach a fundamental science topic to the classroom. The 9 realistically detailed magnets depict each stage of the insect's transformation, from egg to caterpillar, then to chrysalis, and finally to the fully developed butterfly, offering children a concrete representation of a process they might otherwise only partially observe in nature.

Vivid colors and detailed components make each stage easy to recognize and compare. Since the pieces are unlabeled, teachers can support positive-feedback instruction: children place the magnets in order, name the stages, and receive immediate confirmation, which turns the lesson into a participatory activity. The largest magnet measures 22.8 x 17.7 cm, a size that is clearly visible on a whiteboard at the front of the classroom.

The set includes an activity guide in English, which offers suggestions for integrating the magnets into various learning exercises. The 9 butterfly life cycle pieces add versatility, allowing for both individual work and group demonstrations. The recommended age is 5 - 9 years.

Magnets that stick to each other or attach to a metal object inside the human body can cause serious or fatal accidents. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or inhaled. Do not leave packaging within reach of children and remove all packaging before giving the toy to a child.
