Step 1
Print and cut out the template patterns. The template includes patterns for roots, a butterfly, a cocoon, a twig, leaves, eggs, and a caterpillar. Trace the patterns on the selected felt fabrics and cut out the traced patterns using scissors.

Prepare a base from blue felt (7” x 8”) and a piece from brown felt (7” x 2.5”) to represent the soil. Place the soil cutout on the bottom side of the base cutout.
Step 3
Place a seed cutout to the left side of the soil part and a seed with a small root an inch away from the first seed. Stitch the seeds to the soil and base cutouts.
Step 5
Place the seedling right above the small root. Place the medium-sized plant above the medium-sized root. Stitch the seedling and the plant with the base.
