FREE Bee Life Cycle Card with Real Images

There are many, many bee life cycle cards on the internet, but I never ran across one that used real pictures.  When I came across these amazing pictures on Commons Wikimedia, I knew I had to add a set of life cycle 3-part cards to my bee week printables.




These life cycle cards pair perfectly with the Safari Ltd Bee Set.  We have loved the set for a few years, but the figurines took on new meaning this year when we added these cards.  I also highly recommend this honey bee life cycle specimen block, which shows every stage and several other pieces.  Both sets showcase the bee's life in a way that children can see and understand.

Random Honey Bee Fact:
Bees gather nectar from flowers and bring it back to the hive.  There, other bees fan the nectar with their wings and dehydrate it.  Dehydrated nectar called honey, is antibacterial and can be stored for years.

When I rebranded this blog from "In Our Pond" to "Homeschooling My Kinetic Kids" this year, I wanted to add more content for high-energy kids.  Some moms and I were talking this morning about dealing with stir-crazy kids in these winter months.  After I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for the FB group, I decided the list would make a great blog post!  I try not to do things the easy way in my blog, so I made a list of 100 activities. 1- breath holding contest to practice for summer swimming 2- cartwheels 3- make a balance board with a board and a can 4- stretch with exercise bands 5- wheelbarrow races down the hallway 6- put on a circus or play 7- paint a picture with your feet 8- handstand contest 9- pretend to be an animal 10- make a ring toss game with paper plates 11- 52 card pick-up 12- push an ice cube with your nose across the kitchen floor 13- play concentration ( instructions ) 14- wresting 15- speed cleaning contest 16- relay races ...
