• INCLUDES 5 LIFE CYCLE BLOCKS -- This stacking wooden block set includes illustrations showing the 5 life cycle stages of 4 different animals and insects: moth, butterfly, chicken and frog.
• SAFE FOR AGES 1+ -- All pieces are made of Beechwood and coated with a safe water-based lacquer, making them smooth to touch and chip-proof.
• LABELED WITH CYCLE STAGES -- The blocks are labeled to assist with understanding of animal development. Children will begin to associate each stage with the illustrations!
• VISUALIZE THE LIFE CYCLE -- The earliest stage is represented by the smallest block and the adult stage is represented by the largest. Children will see how the animals develop as they stack the blocks!
• DURABLE ILLUSTRATIONS -- The illustrations are heat-transfer printed to last through years of vigorous play at home or in the classroom.
• FOSTER EARLY COGNITION -- Toddlers will develop fine motor, hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills as they sort and stack the blocks according to the life cycle stages.

Our lifecycle blocks are thoughtfully designed to represent animals and insects that the children may be familiar with. These blocks wonderfully illustrate the lifecycle of a moth, butterfly, chicken and frog. Children can see how the animal develops through a series of changes to their adult presence, as reflected by the size of the block with the fully grown animal being represented by the largest block and the eggs the smallest. These blocks are brilliant as a tool for early literacy and science but also great for stacking and practicing hand-eye coordination.
