This medium worksheet gives first graders a deeper look at the butterfly life cycle with longer fill-in-the-blank practice. Part A presents nine sentences about the four butterfly stages, including caterpillars, chrysalises, and how frogs hatch from eggs in water. Part B is a matching activity connecting the words Egg, Caterpillar, Chrysalis, and Butterfly to descriptions of each stage, helping children link vocabulary to meaning and order.

Life Cycles of Animals
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word on the line.
1. The four stages of a butterfly's life cycle are egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly.
2. A caterpillar is also called a larva.
3. A frog's life cycle begins when it hatches from an egg in the water.
4. A tadpole slowly grows legs and becomes a young frog called a froglet.
5. The big change a butterfly goes through is called metamorphosis.
6. A chicken begins life inside an egg that the hen keeps warm.
7. After a chick hatches, it grows feathers and becomes a juvenile chicken.
8. A tadpole breathes underwater using gills.
9. When a caterpillar is ready to change, it forms a hard shell called a chrysalis.
Part B: Match the Life Cycle Stage
Draw a line from each life cycle stage to its description.
1. Match each life cycle stage to its description.
Egg
→ The first stage of the life cycle
The adult stage that can fly
Caterpillar
→ The larva stage that eats leaves
The first stage of the life cycle
Chrysalis
→ The hard shell where the change happens
The hard shell where the change happens
Butterfly
