Sea Turtle Life Cycle Activity

Looking for an easy, meaningful addition to your ocean unit? This Sea Turtle Life Cycle printable is a simple, hands-on way to help preschoolers explore how sea turtles grow and change. The set includes a clear, colorful life cycle poster along with a cut-and-paste worksheet that lets children sequence each stage from egg to adult turtle.

Perfect for Classrooms or at Home

For teachers, this activity works well as a whole-group introduction, a small-group science center, or an independent review. Parents can use it at home to support early science learning without a lot of prep. The poster builds background knowledge and introduces new vocabulary, while the cut-and-paste worksheet encourages children to think critically about order and changes over time.

Why Use it for Preschool?

Life cycle activities are especially great for preschoolers because they combine visual learning with fine motor practice. Cutting, sorting, and gluing helps strengthen hand muscles, while sequencing the stages supports early comprehension skills. Tying the activity to sea turtles also keeps young learners engaged during an ocean unit, making science feel fun and approachable. This Sea Turtle Life Cycle Activity is a low-prep, developmentally appropriate way to introduce life science concepts while reinforcing important early learning skills—perfect for classrooms and homes alike. We hope you and your child love it!
