Cicada Life Cycle Timber Tile

A vibrant look into the secret life of one of Australia’s favourite summer insects 🐜✨

Our Cicada Life Cycle Timber Tile beautifully illustrates the incredible journey of a cicada — from tiny egg, to years spent underground as a nymph, to emerging shell and finally the buzzing adult we hear each summer. Printed on smooth natural timber using non-toxic, kid-safe inks, this tile offers a colourful, tactile and engaging way for children to explore insect lifecycles.

Perfect for homeschooling, nature study, sensory play setups, early science learning or simply adding to your nature shelf, it’s a wonderful prompt for curious conversations about insects, habitats, sound and the magic of metamorphosis.

Pair it with real cicada shells collected on summer walks, nature books, magnifying glasses or outdoor play invitations.

Why we love it:

• Printed with non-toxic, child-safe inks

• Clear, vibrant illustrations perfect for visual learners

• Supports sequencing, early biology & nature curiosity

• Ideal for nature tables, discovery shelves & sensory play

• Pairs beautifully with our other lifecycle tiles and nature play resources

A captivating, sustainable learning tool that turns a familiar summer sound into a story little hands can explore 🌿✨
