Spring is Here!
It finally seems like spring here in Oklahoma City. The weather is warm outside today – in the 80’s but with just enough breeze blowing to make it feel wonderful! The warmer weather also brings out the bugs. Now while that sounds like a bad thing to many of us – it is a great science opportunity.
Actually I love bugs. They are fun so much fun to study. Most 4-H offices have an entomology (the study of insects) project. You can probably get their book even if you aren’t in a 4-H club. If you want to collect bugs for a cool insect collection, one way to kill them is to put them in the freezer in a jar. It’s easy and non-messy.
I have added some links to some fun bug activities on my website - Learning Treasures. There is something for a wide variety of ages and many of them are great for group projects as well. You can Make a Crawling Ladybug, print a beetle coloring page and I will be adding ladybug counting cards and other fun things this week too.
Oh an if you haven’t created an Animal Notebook yet – what are you waiting for? That is the perfect place to store all your buggy creations. (Hint – take pictures of the crafts and projects you make and include them in your notebook.)
Happy Learning,
Belinda

Link to this page
This is the first time to visit your site. So far I enjoy the content and activities. As a reader seeking the printables on this page, I ask you to please consider another color for your linked pages. The blue printed words with the black words on a medium blue background makes the blue links a bit hard to find.
Maybe it’s just my old eyes!
Thanks for considering the suggestion.
