How to Prepare the Printable
This one-page printable requires no advanced preparation. Just print and go! If your kids don’t enjoy coloring, you can print the black/white version on colored printer paper or print the color version.
You could also make this a reusable activity by printing it on cardstock and laminating it for durability. Cut out the sequencing cards at the bottom of the page.
Add a velcro dot to the backside of each sequencing card and in each empty box on the worksheet. Then, the kids can sequence the life cycle of a shark over and over again.
What Skills are Covered?
