Bee Life Cycle Sequencing Necklace

After teaching your preschoolers about bees, let them put together this bee life cycle sequencing necklace that will help them retell how a bee grows.

This necklace is part of a larger life cycle of a bee printable that is jam-packed with printables and activities to help you teach and reinforce the way bees grow.

Bee Life Cycle Sequencing

Teaching preschoolers about life cycles is a good way to help them understand their world. It’s also the perfect way to help them connect to nature.

After helping kids learn about the life cycle of a bee, use resources that reinforce what you’ve taught. You can provide access to plastic bee models and life cycle puzzles.

You should also give them an opportunity to tell others what they’ve learned. One fun way to do this is to have them make this life cycle sequencing necklace.

Print out one necklace page for each child. Have them color the necklace charms and cut them out. Now, have them put those charms in order to correlate with the four stages of a bee’s life.

See if they can remember the names of each stage as they put the pieces in order.

Provide a piece of string or yarn large enough to fit around their neck loosely. You want it loose enough for it to slip over their head when tied and not be a choking hazard.

Demonstrate to kids how to fold the tab over the yarn and tape the flap on the back of each charm. Continue until all four charms are strung in the correct order.

Now, let them wear their necklace for the day and tell anyone they meet what they’ve learned about the life cycle of a bee.
