There are so many uses of the Pine tree life cycle printables in a preschool or kindergarten classroom. These are a great addition to preschool Winter and Christmas units. Create trays for your Montessori shelf to explore the life cycle of conifer trees along with the tundra biome or botany unit – life cycle of a tree.

The pine tree life cycle is quite fascinating. Here is its story.

Pine Cones. Male pine cones create and release pollen. They generally grow on the lower parts of the tree. Pollen is spread by the wind onto female cones that generally grow on the upper part of the tree. Pollination occurs and female cones begin to grow seeds inside of them. It can take up to 3 years for female cones to mature.

Seeds. Seeds mature and drop on the ground. Seedlings. In the grounds, seeds germinate and start pushing roots down into the group and little seedling appears above the ground. Sapling then becomes a young tree. An adult tree can grow up to 150 feet (46 meters) and live for up to 100 years.

You may like to create a story of a pine tree and tell it to a whole class or in a small group using this printable as a prompt.

Students then can be encouraged to retell the story in their own words and complete the cutting/coloring and pasting activity in the correct sequence.

Use tracing strip cards for tracing, coloring, and learning new vocabulary.
