One of my classrooms has been learning about the life cycles recently. They're learning about caterpillars and butterflies, eggs and chicks, and tadpoles and frogs. So, when I found this adorable clip art from Kari Bolt on TPT, I knew I had to create something for them!
By the way, they actually have a real tadpole in their classroom!

This mini-booklet is identical to the large one, but on half-pages and in black and white. This makes it easier for you to photocopy! Also, I set up the pages so that you could make one cut, staple, and go (no sorting the pages!):

Here's a sample page from the mini-booklet:
