Montessori-Inspired Mosquito Life Cycle 3-Part Cards
When Dragonfly (age 6) found out that female mosquitoes use the blood they take from humans to nurture their babies, she decided that being bitten by a mosquito wasn't very bad. She speaks very tenderly about them and gets very happy when they're near her. I anticipate this changing very soon, but I wanted to capitalize on her interest by creating these Montessori-inspired 3-part cards.

The pictures came from Wikimedia Commons and are from a few different types of mosquito breeds. I have included male and female cards to show that male mosquitoes drink flower nectar and females drink blood. The cards are match the Safari Ltd Life Cycle set.
A study of mosquitoes could lead to their place in the food chain. Or perhaps a look at preventing and treating mosquito bites. Or diseases carried by mosquitoes and why they carry them.
I also highly recommend this mosquito life cycle book for kids. It talks simply, but in detail about mosquitoes, their anatomy, and their life.
Pin It!
Thank you. :)
