Curious about the life cycle of a spider? With this educational playset, children can learn about it easily and through play. The figures show the process from egg to egg sac, to spiderling, to adult spider. A female spider can lay up to 3,000 eggs. Many species then protect the eggs in a silk sac, which is attached to the web so the mother can guard them. Once the eggs hatch, spiderlings emerge, which look like smaller versions of adults. They eventually leave the web to grow into adult spiders and repeat the process.
The figures in this set are ideal to use as Montessori toys for lessons about biological processes and life cycles.
