hungry caterpillar lifecycle set

"I bought this set for my daughters school nursery setting aling with some caterpillsrs as they slrrady had the net basket from previous years. The life cycle set is really lovely and is brightly coloured and just the right size for little hands , sturdy made and hood value for money. The nursery children are loving the 'growth' section in one corner of nursery and the caterpillars are on top of a basket so the children can view daily, I am told it is the first thing that the class donin a morning is to check the corner and see what is happening wiry the caterpillars. The teacher told me they use the lifecycle set to help them explain to the children each of the processes the caterpillars go through."

— Adele R. (5/5)

Great lifecycle figures

"These are great figures to teach young children about the butterfly lifecycle. My little one has loved retelling the hungry caterpillar story using these and comparing them to the stage at which his caterpillars are."
