20 Bug Crafts And Activities For Kids

Bugs and insects are all around us this time of year! As the weather starts to warm up after the long, cold winter, bugs and insects are emerging. This is the perfect time of year to start teaching your kids about bugs and insects in a fun and creative way.
I don’t know about you, but my kids have always been a little bit crazy about bugs. Whether it’s beetles or ladybugs, they just can’t seem to get enough! We always have a collection jar or container handy in case the kids find a really cool bug they want to look at up close for a while.
Over the years, we have studied insects a lot. Some lessons were planned and some were impromptu. We’ve learned about the benefits of insects, how to classify insects, and even how to create an insect collection.
