To begin this craft, draw an "X" on the paper plate to divide the plate into four equal sections.

Cut a leaf shape out of the green construction paper, and then glue it to one section of the paper plate. Glue rice to the leaf to represent eggs.

Cut a tree branch from the brown paper and a small leaf from the green paper. Glue this in the section to the right of the "eggs". Paste a rotini noodle to the branch to represent the caterpillar.

In the third section, glue a second brown tree branch. Then, glue a piece of shell pasta hanging from the branch. This is the chrysalis.

Next, in the last section, glue the bow tie pasta. This is your adult butterfly.

Then, draw arrows between the sections and label each one: eggs, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly.

Finally, write the words "Life Cycle of a Butterfly" on the blue paper and cut it out. Glue this to the center of the paper plate.

That’s it - you've just made your own butterfly life cycle paper plate craft!
