Children lay out the four felt stages and walk the monarch through its change, from a tiny egg to a striped caterpillar, a chrysalis, and finally the winged adult. On a nature table or circle-time rug, they order the pieces and narrate the sequence in their own words. The soft, tactile forms invite slow handling and repeated retelling as the life cycle sinks in.
