Paint the entire outer ridge of the inside of the paper plate. Leave the flat middle part white. Let dry.

For the chrysalis: cut a small square of the green tissue paper and form it into a cocoon shape over one end of the stick. Twist it closed around the stick.

For the butterfly: cut a small square of pink tissue paper, pinch together in a fan style, and clip the clothespin on it to hold it in place. Make sure each side of the paper is equal and fans out like wings. Cut a small piece of pipe cleaner, fold it in half, and clip the clothespin to it so it looks like an antenna.

For the eggs: cut out a small leaf from the green paper and draw some lines on it to resemble leaf veins. Glue the sixlets in the middle of the leaf.

Once your plate is dry, draw 2 black lines on the flat white part to have 4 equal sections.

Glue the leaf onto one of the sections. Glue the six poms on another section to look like a caterpillar. Glue the cocoon onto another section and glue the butterfly onto the last section.

Use a marker to write the life cycle names above each life cycle section: Write eggs above the leaf, write caterpillar above the caterpillar, write cocoon above the cocoon, and write butterfly above the butterfly.

Optional: If you can't get sixlets or prefer something else, you can use small white pompoms for the eggs.
