Food chains cut and paste sequence and fold activities

These science cut-and-paste folding activities make learning about food chains in different habitats fun! A hands-on alternative to a food chains worksheet for your unit, children can sequence plants and animals on their foldout, before cutting out their templates and folding.

The finished results are ideal for an interactive science notebook or whole-class science bulletin board display. They are most suitable for Kindergarten, first, or second grade.
