Explore the remarkable transformation of a butterfly with this detailed Lacewing Butterfly life cycle block. Featuring real specimens preserved in clear resin, children can follow each stage of development – from egg through to caterpillar, chrysalis and adult.
The transparent design allows children to closely examine the changes that occur during metamorphosis, making abstract concepts more visible and easier to understand. The natural colours and delicate structures of each stage provide a rich visual experience, encouraging careful observation and curiosity about the natural world.
